Day 1 of pre surgery bowel prep. Not too bad for the most part. Hoping tomorrow goes just as good, esp after I take the yukky stuff! Can't wait for Thursday!

Got my date today, Nov 13th. Have been on 2 wk pre-op diet for a week, 1 to go. chicken, fish, vegs, no carbs and 2-3 Protein Shakes a day. I am 62 yrs old and looking forward to a new life. Sick of these limitations on my body(fat). Look forward to the help from sharing here.

Congrats to the recent bsndsters! I'm so glad that everything went well for you all.

I am doing my pre op diet and making lists and preparing. I have a lot of shopping to do. Which is fine... I like to shop. :)

Hello all.. 2 days post surgery and I'm feeling pretty good.. One more day of clears and then on to full liquids for 2 weeks. I am so looking forward to a Protein shake..lol never thought I'd be saying that!. Still have some gas but gas-x seems to be working fine.. Minimal discomfort where the insiicions are..I have nothing in my band yet but I am not hungry at all. Gained 8 lbs in the hospital, I guess from the iv but I lost 5 yesterday..I hear that's pretty normal though.. I'll keep you all posted on my progress and you please do the same...this is a new chapter in our lives! I'm ready

I wish I could get my surgery(nov14) moved up also! The person that submits and schedules is out until Wednesday. I am going to try and get mine moved up also!

Same here only a select few know about the surgery everyone else will be under the impression I'm having a hernia repair :)

Surgery in two days. A little nervous but more excited than anything. Can't wait !!!

      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.
