Welcome to the forum! I bet you're so excited! I still havent gotten a surgery date. Going through the pre op testing and supervised weight loss program. I finish that at the end of september and then they will submit to insurance. There is alot of info on tjis site and everyone is so willing to answer questions. In addition a history search will help you with info you are looking for! Where are you located?

It's a very short window where ur not urged to drink alcohol (cept beer, can't ever have that). I'm 5 weeks out and plan on enjoying a margarita now and then in the future. I'm not really into wine, but I'm sure it's fine, in moderation. You stomach is smaller now so be careful. You're liable to get tipsy faster!

My daughter came home last week to help me with surgery etc... She brought me three beautiful bottles of Sonoma County wines. I too wonder when I will get to taste my new wines but am figuring it will be awhile.

Welcome this is a great place for advice, to vent sometimes. The majority of us have been through the process and can advise you on what to expect in most cases. You will get sympathy, empathy, and sometimes tough love. Check in often and don't get discouraged or disgusted if your views are not shared by others. Good luck on your journey.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
