I have roughly 100 days until my surgery. My body is worn out. I'm 270+ and my body is in pain. I have had a few surgeries during the past year and exercise was limited because of the types of surgery that I had. I actually gained 30 lbs in addition to my already overweight body. Wow ... 30 pounds has really made it hard to exercise without being in pain afterwards. I went biking for 45 minutes and now my Knees are screaming at me in pain. I lifted weights and my elbows are joining in with my knees. I'm so ready for this surgery. I feel bad for my husband because I'm consumed by this surgery. I know he will be glad when it's done too. So anyone having their surgery around Oct 2013?

I understand your pain. I was diagnosed with Lupus and rheumatoid arthritis last August. I am also over weight and I'm close to that surgery. Mine is planned for July or August as if right now. My exercise consultant suggested that I do Water aerobics. I have checked into it and they even have an aerobic for arthritis. I haven't started but plan to next week. Hope this helps!!!!

I am planning on Water aerobics while I get used to my new body!! I have a hot tub (ok, I keep it cold in the summer...; - ) ) and I bought some pool water weights that I will do in there between classes.... plus I will do my walking... my plan is to start by "cracks" in the sidewalk... hahaha!! Every walk, when I am ready to quit, I told myself I will have to walk to the next crack and then I can turn around..... (they are pretty far between....) And I'll try to remind myself to have a lot of humor!!! I sound ready as I type this, and then tonight I'll think.... WHAT AM I DOING?????? ARGHHHHH!! My surgery is June 24th

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

        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
