I've been on my journey since June when I attended a seminar after learning that my insurance covered the surgery. After meeting with my Surgeon on July 7th, I started my pre-op testing, blood work, upper GI, EKG, nut and psych. Everything went well except for my psych, who diagnosed me with depression and anxiety and instructed me to have 6 months of therapy. Which I have one last appointment on Wednesday. I've been on a liquid diet for a week now, and I have my surgeon's appointment in a week to find my date, I'm hoping for the end of January. :)

LOL there are all sorts of things I call it like the Atomic D! Lol but yea Diarrhea. I'm afraid that when I start my liquid diet on the 14th I'm going to have it and be shut up in my house.

I've beef taking the Vitamins before I don't think it will hurt anything. Also has anyone who's started the liquid diet have the shadoobs from only taking in liquid?

Oh thank god someone has mentioned this. By "shadoobs" I assume you mean "the runs". hahaha. Not to be all TMI, but since starting this liquid diet, I have been gassy and back and forth to the bathroom. I thought I was the only one. It's driving me crazy. I think my body is slowly getting used to the shakes, but geez, they don't warn you! LOL

Ok guys...since I feel so comfortable in this thread with you all...I just wanted to (continue) to vent. I need some good thoughts passed my way! Yesterday I had a pill cam endoscopy to view my small intestines. I had a colonscopy...and the biopsy came back negative for Crohn's, but with the pill cam, they are still checking to see if I have Crohn's. My surgeon said he will not do the bypass on January 15th if it's Crohn's, but he feels confident that it's not. I'm still scared though. I get my results Monday or some time mid-week the latest. Worst case if it was Crohn's, I'd have to resubmit to insurance everything and do the sleeve (which my insurance doesn't cover, but we could try).

So not only is it HARD doing the liquid diet, but it's also HARDER knowing it could all be for nothing if they do find Crohn's. I will keep all updated.

So surgery is a go for 1/15, but if it's Crohn's...it's off. PLEASE keep me in your prayers. I don't think it's that...but there's a small chance it could be.

Anyway, I'm day 5 on liquid diet and just trying to hang in there. I'll let you guys know of the results as soon as I know. Fingers crossed, please. :mellow:

:(:unsure::wacko: :wacko:

You will be in my prayers. I know all the waiting is completely nerve racking. I'm hoping they will find nothing wrong and surgery will go as scheduled. Yours is a week before mine sink would love to know how your recovery goes.

Sooo i just got all my Vitamins for post op... do i start now? Will it hurt/help? Including the B12 shots?

If I remember correctly, it's ok to take the Vitamins prior to. However, at my pre-op I was told not to take them from surgery until week two after surgery. Always a good idea to check with your doctor as he/she may have a specific reason for wanting you to start early or wait until later.

Good luck!!!

OK. Surgery on Monday. I've not been nervous till now. Had all my food Funerals today. All liquid tomorrow. Not really required, but I thinks its best. I really need prayers. I'm a needle-a-phobic and am very nervous about the IV and multiple shots that I'm gonna get. Not afraid of pain or the surgery, just the needles. Lol. I know I'm weird. Super excited about my future though. God Bless.

      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.
