Hi everyone, I just got my date not to long ago. February 19th Yay!!!

Getting close! Have you started your pre-op diet? Are you feeling okay? The 19th will be here before you know it!

Yes I'm feeling great so ready to get this journey started! I've been ordered to start my pre op diet on the 12th, so only one week...that's not bad.

Surgery on Monday! I'm still nervous but ready. Hope there are no complications. Can someone tell me what to expect in the hospital and first week home?

I will. I'm also taking a huge bottle of Water and a shake in an insulated cup. Yes. I will look strange and I'm okay with that.

Ok. Took my water but not my Protein Shake. Ended up eating some carrots with hummus and then at Olive Garden (only went because I drove my friend and it was her grandpas funeral) I had one bowl of Soup. Their soup isn't healthy at all. But better than pastas and breadsticks. Which smelled great and were hard to stay away from!

Uggg, sleep study came back positive for sleep apnea. I have to go sat night to have them determine what the settings will need to be on it , then they will order it. If I don't have my machine by the 17th the may postpone my surgery on 2-18. For those who also have this, how long did it take for you to get your CPAP machine? Also, had my endoscopy today, it went well, no hernias or anything, so that's good. I am getting so excited about this, not having any problems on the liquid diet other than a slight headache in the mornings that goes away once I eat. Hope everyone is doing well Leigh Anne

I got it about a week after my test. Find out which medical supply company your doc uses and who takes your insurance (only 2 companies in a 60 mile radius of Nashville took Aetna - crazy, I know). Call tomorrow and set up an appointment for early next week. I see a lot of posts that people don't have to take their CPAP to the hospital since it's a short stay but I'm now at the point I don't sleep well without it. Do they say why they would delay it? I thought it was more for insurance approval rather than needing to use it. Good luck!

Thanks, I did see the surgeon yesterday, and he said that if I don't have it by then, it will NOT delay my surgery. I am 100% on go!!!!! It may have been the sleep dr trying to scare me. He was a jerk the whole time. Complaining he didn't have enough time to treat me before surgery.

      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. 🤞
