I too did the pre-op diet 2 times..the first was cancelled because of another patients emergency..I felt horrible but hoped that if that happened to me that someone else would be kind enough to help me...........Well it happened several times to me that I replaced patients who were lined up for the surgery because of the 13 surgeries I had because of WLS...

It gives you a chance to reflect again about your decision and it makes it that much more important when it finally comes.....

My sleeve surgery was canceled for today due to the weather here!!! And their not sure then they can get me back in!! I'm SOO upset!

I feel your pain Nicol, My surgery was cancelled by me, when the surgeon's office called the day before surgery to tell me my insurance wouldn't pay for the sleeve portion of the surgery but only the lap band removal. No clue if and when it will get resolved. That was supposed to be Jan.16. Meanwhile, were and are you still on your pre-op diet? I am having a very hard time trying to adhere to mine. I'm starting to modify it each day past surgery date. How does one stay motivated with such a let down? All I can say is I AM staying busy and if these doctors think I'm going to pay for another $350 for pre-op an post op food, they are cray cray.

I thought I was the only one with the rotten luck. Despite all these cancellations, are you staying on a pre-op diet prescribed by the doctor for the original date of 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. 🤞
