Why does the list of December surgeries look they way it does? Maybe it's just because I'm viewing on my cell but their is codes everywhere.

Mine had all those numbers code things too!

I have been thru the 6 visits with a dietician. I have a pre op appt tomorrow. I hope everything goes well because I have no idea what to expect during this appt. The last appt I had I was just so happy to have finished the 6 months that I forgot to ask what to expect. I'm hoping all will go well and I get scheduled in December. It would be a great Christmas gift for myself. Will up date. I'm new to the forum but will get a photo added.

Hi Mrs Blues ! So glad I found people who I can go thru this together !!

Me too. Because I have not told people. Except my boyfriend who is taking me and picking me up, and my niece, only because she will be watching my daughter until I get back home

I started my liquid diet today. 1 meal and all liquids for the rest of the week, then nothing but liquids for the next week. I see the Nut on Thurs, the Cardiologist on Fri, and the rest of my pre-op testing done on Mon along with meeting with the pharmacist. 12 days and counting and it feels like it's full of stuff to do!

Has anyone had any food related dreams? I had a dream that I was at a buffet and every time I went to put something on my plate, it disappeared! lol

For all my December journey buddies that have stressed an interest in the FB don't give up on me just reading through all the information that came out on a recent upgrade and really not liking not having the privacy that would be necessary for some of us. If anyone has any suggestions would love to hear them. For what I am reading it is going to make too much information available for other people to see.

Thank you!! When do you start your liquid diet?

I start mine tomorrow and I am so worried I am going to be miserable and not be able to do it! Nerves already! Your surgery is one day before mine by the way, so hopefully we can connect and chat! :)

Hey Msix,

I was thinking about the Facebook thing...

I don't think there is a way for you to make everything private enough on your end, but I think that if people like or join the page, they can make it private on their end. They would just have to fix who can see these posts in the privacy sections to just themselves. I think activity would still show up on their wall when they look at it, but would be invisible to others. Maybe create the page or group and then we can try and help those who want to remain private to fix their feeds. Also, the ones who would like to remain anonymous on fb could always create a "ghost" account and join that way. I had a profile for my cat at one time. Lol. Just some thoughts...And thank you for all the time your spending trying to figure this out! ")

You can start a group and set the privacy setting to "secret". It shows up nowhere on your FB for people to see. I'm in another secret group and have had no problems.

      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.
