I am drinking the unjury, lean shakes from GNC, medislim I get those from my primary care doctor... And the key is to drink lots of Water I drink about 80 ounces of Water in between shakes and throughout the day

Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months' date=' thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?[/quote']

I am going on June 10th. I am so excited to start this new chapter! A little nervous too because my EKG came back abnormal. I have to go see a cardiologist tomorrow. My surgeon said he wasn't too worried about it but I should go see the other Dr anyway. So I will and hope it doesn't push back my surgery date!

Oh my gosh I had the same thing. They put me out today for the EGD and when I woke up they said I need to be cleared by the Cardiologist. Scary! Let us know how it turns out. I don't have my Cardiologist appt yet.

Well tomorrow is the big day! I have to be there at 11:00 am. The nurse told me they are doing 5 tomorrow. 3 of us are spending the night because of sleep apnea. So I stopped eating at 6 pushing liquids until midnight and then nothing not even Water until surgery. I am going to be really thirsty and dry mouth going that long. I am nervous. Do I have everything ready. It's still so unreal. So hoping that this is the answer. Thanks for the support I hear from all of you,

      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.
