Hi everyone! I'm new here, but I have been looking through singe of the threads here. I'm scheduled to have the RNY on Oct 1. Trying to get that date changed for personal reasons. I'm so nervous right now. My health insurance denied me the first time and I won my appeal. Any info you would like to share is welcome.

Glad you were able to change it. I haven't got to the nervous part yet. I am just on the impatient side still

Thanks Vicki for the encouragement,.and thank you all for the warm welcomes. I wish I could express my fears to my family but they would just tell me not to do it lol. I'm glad I found this forum.

You are right, your family is probably more scared then you are. So that makes it hard. The easy thing for them to say would be don't do it. But we are all here for you and will encourage you and you can vent and express yourself.

A wealth of information on this forum and always someone to reach out to,

I never looked at it as if they are scared. My mom said some mean things a few weeks ago, when I asked for Thanksgiving dinner in October. Maybe she said it to discourage me from having the surgery. I will have to remind myself they have some fears too.

They do have fears. They have probably heard more negative things or remember "back in the day" when so and so had this surgery and whatever negative thing happened or almost happened. So a lot of how they are is fear for you. They love you.

I hope you have a local support group that you can go to and meet others face to face that have had wls. That will help calm you too.

Hugs.

        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.

      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
