Newbie here, although I have been lurking for a while. I don't have a date yet, but everything was submitted to the insurance today. I had my stress test and I am worried about the results.

That's awesome I might have to think about doing that too o start pre op on the 17 too and I keep going back and forth too. Good luck and I need a buddy also ;)
I am always on this site. Feel free to buddy me! I am attached at the hip to this place haha. My pre-op is definitely nicer than most here. I get real food! I do not think I will be starving. My stats so far are Hw: 333, CW: 295.3, and height 5'6. Feel free to message me anytime :)

I have to wait 3-5 days to hear from my insurance and the results of my stress test. Part of me feels like it just won't happen. Anyone else felt that way? I'm hoping to be sometime after Oct. 15th. I just found out my son's best friend's mom had rny last June and is very happy that she did. I have to do a two week liquid diet if I get the go ahead. Not looking forward to that! Any books that you guys recommend for rny?

Preadmission testing today I can't believe I am a little over a week away. Feeling nervous and emotional today praying I am making the right decision I want my life back. Hope everyone else is doing ok.

It feels weird knowing i have only 1 more week of regular food to eat.

I only have to have a 4 day liquid pre op diet. Not to shabby.

There is a book out there called "The Big Book on the Gastric Bypass: Everything You Need to Know to Lose Weight and Live Well with the Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery". I have ordered it but it has yet to arrive, expected today. My RNY is in 31 days and counting.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
