We will all be fine. We are praying for you. We will see your happy recovering posts soon!!! Hang in there!!

I'm scared too but more scared I will fail like I always do.

Worm I know you won't fail! We are in this together.... I'm scard too, even though I'm on the losing size now...

It feels great but at the same time I always fail in whatever I did, so I am praying that we will succeed ! I know we will!

Worm I think we share that fear. I worry I am not as strong as some of these other success stories on this board but I am hoping to benefit from all the great advice on here as well as leaning on new friends on this board. I don't know anyone who has had this surgery so this community is great. You seem determined and I know you will do awesome.

Thank I the closer I get the more try to stay away from google. How do People feel about telling people that they r having surgery. I have not told a ton of people but feel like it will be harder as I get closer and I hear people say they got a lot of negative reactions

Dotted, I'm trying to stay away from google too! It has certainly scared me. I've only told my close friends and family. I haven't really had any negative responses. Most just ask why and say I understand and support me after hearing my reasons. My friends and family are so protective that they just want to make sure this wasn't a just because idea. I've only had two reactions that made me know bring it up any further... A coworker was being nosey and noticed I was reading a book on my nook about WLS and decided to give me his unsolicited 2 cents about how if I'm thinking about it, don't because he didn't think I need it. (The nerve of some people.) Thank God for the support if my husband and you wonderful ladies!

Stephanie! I just saw we have the same dr. Dr McCloskey. How was she?? I'm at my preop now.

She was really nice. She checked me in before the surgery and after that I didn't see her at all. My surgery was on a Friday. I remember her saying that she will be in town still if she was needed but there was someone else there helping me out. I don't know if it would be different if your surgery is on a Monday.

        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
