Me TOO!! So excited and nervous all at the same time :\ Excited to have this done, am looking forward to the future and what it holds for me and my family. Nervous because the last time I had a surgery (non weight surgery btw) I had some difficulties with getting sick and wanting to sleep so much afterwards...will be talking to the hospital about that for pre-op appt. My surgery date is 8/5/13! Looking for a support person/group for this journey :)

I couldn't sleep last night and I know it is because I am so excited about this coming Saturday when I fly into ElPaso, TX, then on to Juarez, Mexico to Star Medica Hospital to have the Gastric Sleeve Surgery that afternoon. I am so ready for this!

Did you see the surgeon for the last time b4 surgery? When do you start the preop diet?

I saw the surgeon in June... I have my pre op assessment on the 5th and my last class on the 13th... I start my pre op diet on the 10th and that's low carb high Protein. How about yourself...

I only seen my Dr. Once. I have an appointment on the 7th. I guess he will ask me then to start my low carb diet. Tomorrow I am going for labs, EKG and chest X-rays. I am very nervous. Can't sleep at night. ????

Aww... Try not to wreck your brain about tomorrow. Be happy you know what you're going in for... I'm not even sure what the pre admin testing consist of... They told me to prepare to be there for about 2 hours. But seeing how I don't have any underlying conditions ... I'm not sure what's going to happen.

      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
