You may not be in the June club anymore, but I'm sure the July club will be happy to have you! Hang in there, it's just a delay. It's not an outright denial. Get that sleep apnea under control, it really is that important.

I know how frustrating it is too wait, I was suppose to have surgery on 12/8 and did not have it until 4/9. Though I did not see anything positive about it at the time, looking back I was able to take more time to prepare and be ready. I went in without a second thought and breezed through the surgery and recovery. As the old saying goes "good things come to those who wait" take some time to be frustrated and even pout and then pick yourself up and keep on doing everything you can to prepare for the surgery. Best of luck to you :)

I am doing well, thank you both! Just like many people have said, my abs feel sore like I've done 1000 situps and I occasionally get some back pain. They gave me a prescription for liquid hydrocodone to take twice a day and it helps immensely.

It seems I woke up from anesthesia in a panic because they had laid me flat and I can't breathe when I'm flat because of my weight. I remember the anesthesiologist yelling at me to calm down and stop fighting. :lol: Once they elevated me it was a lot better. The only pain I felt immediately after surgery was a gas pain that would not go away. They offered me pain meds and I took them. Two hours later when they were rolling me out of the recovery room to my room I was in a great mood and laughing and joking with everyone.

        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
