My surgery has been moved to May 13th from May 6th. Even though I am excited about getting the surgery' date=' I'm kinda glad for the extra prep time. I had my pre-op with the surgeon on Friday and I will meet with the anesthesiologist early next week. The surgeon spent about an hour with me and my support person who was very impressed. Just about all of my friends and family are against me getting the surgery because they don't think I need it and want me to do Weight Watchers because Jennifer Hudson lost a lot with them. (I call BS on that but I digress). Anyway, good luck to all.[/quote']

I've switched your date. :P. Your now the day before me. Your doing this for you and if others can't support you, just stick with the ones who do! You are gonna do great and feel so good. Good luck on the pre op diet. Mine starts tomorrow..

Surgery date: May 14, 2013

Freaking out!!! Go to meet with the surgeon in an hour. Petrified he is gonna postpone my surgery because I have not lost weight. I kinda did but not enough. I first saw him the beginning of oct. I was 202. But then the holidays came and being an idiot and thinking it was the last time I could really enjoy them I shot up to 216. Now I'm down to 204. So nervous. Plus my mom is going with me to appt. it took her along time to come around and be supportive so I'm so scared she is going to see I'm already a failure.

Freaking. Out...Only 4 more days!

The doctors office called this morning to remind me of my pick up orders appt. on Thursday and verify my surgery. Surgery on Friday @ 8:00 am.. Struggled a bit with the pre-op diet the first week but got back into the swing of things again. My husband and I went out this weekend to a couple different places for some Protein Drink options for after the surgery.. Not sure what I will like after surgery so picked up an array of drinks. Picked up some stuff for the hospital like the Gas x and face wipes. Worked like a mad woman today trying to get my office in good order. I feel like my mind is always racing, racing all over the place. How is everyone else doing?

        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
