Pre-Op finally done, reporting for surgery @ 530 am tomorrow, got away without having to do bowel-prep, since my surgery is less than 24 hours after pre-op. One trip to pharmacy for pain med prescription and I am ready to go.

I don't think we have to do the bowel prep but we have our last meeting with surgeon tomorrow. Maybe we do. Just have to wait and see.

That like an enema thing?

I have bad news. I spent four hours in pre op to have my doctor come in and tell me my surgery was canceled. I guess my kidney function is down. They said it is caused by the two week liquid diet. So I go back to my normal diet and go see a neurologist and then reschedule my surgery. I was so close, now just disappointed. But I guess better safe then sorry.

I'm sorry about that. But take it from me. I know first hand that your kidneys are vital. I lost my left kidney in year 2010 from kidney failure/ small kidney was decreasing function over the last ten years. I have function in the right so that's great. I'm doing this surgery to live longer, as I'm sure that's the main reason why your having the surgery. Hang in there! When the time is right, it will happen. Prayers your way!

Thanks. My surgeon kept apologizing and I told him I was glad they were being thorough, I would rather wait a little longer then end up more sick. I guess I was all pumped up and ready to go. I could have ended up with kidney failure so a few more weeks are okay. I have my appointment with the nephrologist on May 28th, I will keep you posted.

I've been on a liquid diet for 5days now and today was the worst. But overall not as bad as I thought. I was just kind of woozy.

im 6 days in and I definitely felt the wooziness today, and food is looking very good right about 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.
