Just confirmed my appointment with the surgeon for 3/10/14!!!!! It seems so real now. I mean, I made up my mind and sat with my husband and discussed all of this and what it means, what I will have (and want) to do, and all the risks and benefits. Now that the surgeon appt is on the books.... It's something I can't wait for, and I'm excited and nervous and scared at the same time.

I feel the same way. I am nervous and excited at the same time. It felt real when I received my surgery date. I am scheduled for February 18th. Good luck on your journey.

Good luck to you as well. This is my very first appointment. So surgery is probably still "in the distance"... I am hoping maybe mid may, early June. Keep us posted on your surgery. Many happy thoughts and prayers and love sent to you!!!

Just wanted to update everyone..... My surgery is set for May 22,2014!!! I just found out this afternoon. I am so excited and nervous and full of emotion. I have to lose 10 lbs before the surgery and I am already starting to eat off of the pre-op diet. Here's to the official start of the new me, new life, new lifestyle!! I hope all is well with each of you. And I do apologize for not checking in sooner. Life has been bull dozing me over lately.

MY date hasn't been set yet. I have to lose another 20 pounds. Any other time it wouldn't be hard to do, but this time I just can't stick with it!! I know I'm ready but can't figure out the hold-up!!

I was just wondering how you are doing??? Pre op weight loss was tough for me too. I discovered that a Breakfast Protein Shake made all the difference, no matter what I did the rest of the day. Once I gave into the shakes. I lost 14lbs in 2 weeks.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
