hope you have a great day, lots of tests and questions and stuff I am sure, don't remember from when I had the band. But it is still one more day closer and feels like you are doing something besides just waiting.

Tell us all about it later.

For me it was when the doctor gave me all the time I wanted to ask him questions. He kept saying you sure you have no more questions? I laughed to myself because I had done so much research and asked so much in here I kinda did not have many questions. My hubby did ask when we could have sex but other than that it was just info about what to expect during and right after surgery basically. Then I had to go get some blood work done, an EKG done and filled out a lot of forms including consent for surgery forms and given the advanced healthcare directive to complete and return on the day of surgery. Other people had different things happen so it does depend on your surgeon. Good luck this was one of the easier appointments and most exciting.

The doctor that can in to talk to me was not my Sergeant, it was some other doctor. One of the first things she said was "you don't look like you need this surgery." I wanted to pop her up side her head. If I didn't need it I wouldn't be here! SMH that's what I expect to here from my friends and family that I'm not telling about it, for this reason... I've loss weight and gain and loss, I'm do tired of the yo-yo cycle. I just can't believe she actually said that to me.

She asked what my BMI was I told her 40 she asked my weight and I told her 5 10. She looked it up and said well you are just at 40. Then she went ahead with the other questions.

Height masks weight very well. I was 315 at my highest weight and everyone used to lie and tell me how I wasn't that big :blink: . But then again I am now 100 lbs lighter and now their telling me I'm TOO thin... :rolleyes: I've just learned to ignore the comments and keep my eye on my goals.

Congrats on your pre-op appointment! Not much longer now!!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
