Day 9. I'm at Jefferson Hospital today for pre-op testing. It's unbelievable to me that this is really happening! Wow! I'm really getting excited! I can't lie, my emotions have some nervousness but mostly I'm getting excited for my new life! I was up 4 ounces today but that's ok! I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing! :)

Hi JerzieGirl. My date is March 4th. I'm from Philly but having my surgery in Las Vegas. I also had a band which I had removed in November. The plan was to revise at same time but the band had a severe infection so they took it out and closed resulting in my 3 month wait for bypass. I'm sooo excited. This time next week I'll be in Vegas preparing for surgery. Prep hasn't been good for me. Confession: I've been cheating.... ALOT. I woke up this morning and got my mind right so I'll be following the plan until surgery date. It's hard for me to get all the Water in so I downloaded a Water app on my phone that is an alarm to remind me to drink.

I hope you are OK from your Cyst. Wishing you good luck and speedy recovery. I'll follow you since we will be going through the phases at the same time. Now, time to drink some protein!

Day 13-PreOp. Weight is the same (down 6) and I'm starting to get a little nervous but more so that I'll go through all this and not end up losing weight. I've been going on other people's sites and see how much weight they are dropping which is helping. Today I will clean my house and get ready for surgery! Happy Saturday everyone!

Hi, Jerziegirl

I'm sure that when I get close to my surgery date, I'll be nervous as well. You sound like you've done a lot of research, you're going to a highly regarded bariatric program and you have planned well for your recovery. You've got this! I can't wait to hear about your continued success. Wishing you all the best!

Hey Jerziegirl,

Good luck tomorrow! Hope your trip to Philly isn't too awful in the weekly storm of the century, and surgery and recovery are smooth as silk.

Thinking of you and everyone who is about to undergo WLS.

Thank you everyone! So I'm still the same (down 6 pounds) during pre-op and tomorrow is the big day! If my 5 year old would stop saying, "Mommy, don't go" I think I would be fine. Let's hope the next 15 hours go by quick!! :)

Surgery Day!!!!! I'm on my way to Philly now for my surgery. It was very hard to kiss my girls goodbye when I left but I know this surgery will improve my health and overall well being. I'm down 7 pounds pre-op so starting at 220. Good luck to my fellow sleevers today! 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.

      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.
