Forget using prayers to god, not everyone believes! What you should be praying for is that you have a surgeon who's good and knows what he's doing, as well as an excellent group of nurses and support staff that will actually take care of you in hospital.

Amen, Lisa!

My Lord and savior Jesus Christ is who I will continue to pray to for everyone's surgery to go well, for everyone to have peace and comfort, and ultimately for healing. If you don't believe, feel free to think of it as positive vibes.

Glad to hear, Jess. I am glad I made it to my surgery date (tmrw) without illness. Many at my employment were really getting sick before my last day, which was Friday. Hopefully my recovery will be as healthy! Best wishes!

For those doing a liquid diet... Is it so you loose weight before surgery? I've been loosing my 10% (12lbs left) but haven't been told of this liquid diet. A lot of people do a liquid diet. Just wondering if its for Weightloss to shrink liver or to clean ur body out???

Good luck to everyone this week!!

Mine is liquid Protein Drinks for two weeks before surgery. The doctor says it's both to shrink the liver and to clean out the colon. If you don't do the died, he requires a bowel prep--I'd rather drink liquids for two weeks than have that!

Good luck to everyone this week. We have one week to go. I know being the spouse is not the same as the patient but I really am the only support team my husband has and this is slot of responsibility for one person to have so I will be looking to y'all. I hope you don't get tired of me. We just moved to hot springs, ar and I have no one here to help or even to talk to.

We are here for you, reach out whenever you want or need too. Wishing you a great week, and that surgery is uneventful. Hugs to you both

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
