Oh, I've already done my admission paper work. They had me do that last week. I just show u to surgery, get changed they said they will start my iv, have me verify my info like six times and the team will all sign my belly. The nurse will be me a blood thinner **** in my belly and Then I get taken back at 710 into or. I'm having mine done at a military hospital. Maybe that's why they work a little different. They had me draw labs again yesterday and I guess I just show up now. The nurse just called me to make sure only Clear Liquids after noon today and to wash my skin four times tonight with fragrance free soap.

Anyone else have to do a bowel cleanse? I have to drink 10 oz of magnesium citrate. Lemon flavored, and this stuff is sour!

      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.
