I've had so much going on lately, I FORGOT about my preop appointment Friday. My surgery is June 3rd. I'm so scared I will have to reschedule surgery since I missed my appt, not to mention it's a short week. :0(

Sniff sniff.

Oh my goodness...

Well, I would imagine they don't want to lose all that $$$ they are going to make next week, but still - you are at their mercy!

Chalk it up to pre-op jitters, unless subconsciously you are not wanting to go through with this?

Keep us posted and hang in there!!!

It's a little bit of both, I think... And no preop diet, just the liquids the day before. I cannot believe this happened. Stuff of nightmares. The crazy thing is- I have ALL of my appointments on my phone, this one did NOT alert me like it should have. W T F!!!

Well hopefully they can squeeze you in somewhere... But also make sure that you are really ready for it, there is no shame in delaying a bit if you need too.. I only say that because you said you might be second guessing a bit.

Just call on Tuesday and hopefully they can squeeze you in somewhere, which they probably will. If they can't and your surgery has to be rescheduled, just remember- everything happens for a reason! Good luck!

I agree Mysti. And this week, myself and both my boys were dealing w the after effects of strep throat. We were all on antibiotics (the kids amoxicillin and me the penicillin shot to the tush). It was awful. I work part time & take care of both my children mainly on my own, so I'm ver organized.... This was very out of character. I have a very supportive husband but he works like crazy so I'm left picking up the slack.

Anyway don't want to sound like I'm complaining. I just cannot believe I did this.

What is really upsetting is that this is a new bariatric center. I believe I'm the first official patient. I feel AWFUL.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
