My surgery is scheduled for January 28th. I had my pre-op appointment last thursday and all tests done, including EKG and have been clear. Now just waiting for the 28th. I'm excited...but, scared at the same time. :)

I'm the 28th also, my pre op testing & meeting with the dietician isn't until the 23rd though. I'm getting more nervous everyday. Lol

I have my pre-op Tuesday, surgery the 27th. I'm second guessing if I can do this. I'm no longer terrified of the actual surgery or recovery, still worried, anxious of complications. I just don't know if I can do Protein Drinks, supplements everyday forever. When I see it typed out, I think what the heck, it won't be a big deal. See, I am bi-polar and have to take meds every day anyway, maybe it won't be as hard to just add more pills to the mix?

Ugh, I'm so confused.

Jlmckee,

I understand what your saying but keep your head high and know that you will be great and healthier once everything is complete. I have an appt. Tuesday for retest for H Plyera bacteria if that is clear, looking and praying for surgery date by first week in Feb.

My surgery is at 7am tomorrow morning, have to be there at 5.30am, sucks as hospital is nearly an hours drive away.

Started my Magnesium C and clear liquid day early this morning, other then a lot of stomach gas, so far so good, only one bathroom visit as of yet, but not looking forward to it once it really starts working, I had to drink 2 x 10oz bottles, had the Walgreen's grape ones, its ok but highly carbonated, I think that's making my stomach hurt the most. Wish me luck.

I have to be there at 530 too! I had my mag citrate at 10 this morning. I hope I'm a bout done, but it still coming. I was hoping to get to bed early, I guess not. Good luck to you!!! See you on the other side:-)

        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
