I'm a June 11 too. (Atlanta area) I am also excited' date=' nervous, and scared. This is a huge journey. I know it is the right thing for me and others to do, but anxiety is still there. I know WE can do this. Buddies are great. Wishing you a smooth easy first day of prep shakes.[/quote']

I totally agree. I can't stand the shakes but it's all part of it and I want to make surgery as easier or them as I can. I also know this is something I have to do. I have to overcome the what if's.

My surgery is set for June 3. I'm in upstate New York. I don't have a pre-op diet or endoscopy. Lost 12 lbs so far and am ready to get the surgery done...just getting everything set in my pantry and making my list of things to take to the hospital. I will be home by myself after surgery. My best friend that was to help me has left me high and dry. But I went through gall bladder surgery by myself. I can get through this as well. I love all the support everyone gets on this forum.

I am having surgery with Dr. Simon on the following Monday June 10th! Best of luck to you! Keep in touch. :D

So day 6 on my prepo liquid diet and its not going bad at all I was more concerned going back to work And being on a liquid diet but after last night nothing bother me at all,it went smoothly.. Better than expected,Maybe it's just my motivation Or knowing I have to do this in order to have my surgery and to have a healthier life. Plus a good support system like you all and my family and friends that are behind me hundred percent. Everyone I told about my surgery was and is very supportive. My husband is too but still a little unhappy because he's not going to be here for it... They say duty calls so he's on-duty. But the upside to that is when I do see him it will be a new litter me.

      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.
