I had my pre-op appointment today. Had to sign papers, they checked my current medications and gave me a prescription for what I need on Thursday It included a patch to put on tomorrow night to help with nausea. . Took my blood pressure and drew some blood. The surgeon came and talked to me and showed me on my stomach where the incisions would be. I guess one more day of low carb stop eating at 6:00 tomorrow and nothing to drink after midnight. I had lost 10 lbs on the 2 week pre-op which is great. So just getting excited nervous have to put my bag together tomorrow. I have to spend the night because of sleep apnea. I stopped at costco and I now have Protein and Vitamins. So I think Im Ready!!!

Good luck to all having your surg tomorrow. So exciting! Tomorrow I have my preop class to meet with all the people that will be involved in my care while admitted. I get to ask all my unanswered questiones and get all the info for the big day. Today was my second day on my preop diet and wow Have I been grouchy... lol my poor family! I think I am detoxing off the sugar and carbs and I've also had a bad headache all day. If anyone has some good questions that maybe you wish you asked but didn't I would love to hear them so I can ask and be more aware of everything. Thank you in advance

June 24th.....I'm just so excited. My two week pre op starts on the tenth I'm already not hungry though after I tried what shake I'm going to try. Its Atkins French vanilla and delicious. Even brought body fortress whey Protein Powder, unsweetened blue diamond almond milk, Tyson grilled chicken for my salad dinners, lol. Calcium and gummy vitamins, I think I'm about ready for now.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
