So the flooding in Northern CO has gotten really bad. Basically there is no way today over the river and we are supposed to continue to get more rain off and off for the next 3 days. My hospital is over the river. I hope that 1st no one loses their more property or life in this flood and 2nd that is receded enough for me to get to the hospital on Monday. I do not want to delay the surgery. Over course being the worrier I am, I worry that if it is delayed how long will it be delayed. It is so hard to wait and wonder

First and foremost YOUR safety is what's important here. I can only imagine how anxious you are, but at this point, the safety of you and the staff is key here. You will get your surgery and everything will be fine! :) I'm sure your surgeon will call you and let you know the status of his surgeries!!

Ditto on your safety being paramount. If your surgery is postponed count it as a blessing. With as unpredictable as flash flooding can be it would almost be better to wait till things calm down. That way if you have a complication you will have easy access to the hospital. Praying for your safety and all those affected.

At this moment there are a few roads open to get to the hospital, however there is more flooding predicted for Sat Night. I talked to the Dr and and as long as I can get there, it is on as scheduled. So we will see what time brings. Sadly school is canceled for Monday so that makes things a bit more complicated, I am working on that though. What a roller coaster ride

Yes I too hope that the roads are safe enough for you to use, to enable you to have your surgery as planned.

        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
