Had my preop today. Had an EKG, chest X-ray, 10 tubes of blood for baseline labs. After all that, went to see the doc & he will write me out for 4 weeks (thru Christmas!!). No liquid diet but must be on low fat diet 2 weeks before. No gravy on the turkey!

Suznc that is awesome! I have my preop tests tomorrow with my primary care physician.... oddly I'm more nervous for that then surgery... I hate blood draws! ;-) the countdown really is in, isn't it!

I had pre-op today. I was so nervous but it wasn't as bad as I thought. Video, Consent forms, blood draws, group class, meeting with surgeon and anesthesiologist (sp).

I wanted to try going back to work after a week and a half but my surgeon says no sooner than 2 weeks and 3 at the most! :( I think I'm going to go stir crazy at home. :wacko: So it looks like I possibly won't be back to work until December.

Time is certainly flying! How are all our November Post-Op sisters doing?

November post-op ladies, you are rockin it! Keep up the great work! Cannot wait to join you on the other side! Only 8 more days!!!!!!!!!

Got the approval call on Monday, spoke with the hospital's pre-registration today. I'm kinda Zen right now. It's strange, I have absolutely no desire to eat the world. I am actually repulsed by food for the last 2 weeks. Maybe it's my way to psyching myself into this LOL

Keep the updates coming!!!

Hey, everyone! I haven't posted much but I've been keeping up with everyone through my emails. You all are such an amazing group. So supportive. Best wishes to everyone on their way in and speedy recovery to those coming out!

I had my pre-op today. It went well. Biggest surprise? Found out I'll be recovering in a luxury hotel suite. LOL Sweet. I'm almost more excited for that.

To those already on the bench, thanks for keeping us posted. I'll do the same when my turn comes around (13th).

I also saw some posts about what folks are drinking. Crystal Light has some great new ( to me) flavors: Mojito, Margarita, and Appletini to change it up a bit. YUM!!! Yay for Appletini. I'm just sayin'...

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
