Having my GS surgery in March



Recommended Posts

After careful consideration I have decided to have a Gastric Sleeve Surgery. My date is March 19 and I would like to connect with people who already had their surgery and people having their surgery in March. Thank you all for your support. Many blessings to all.

I am scheduled for March 19th also! Starting my pre op on March 5th, not looking forward to that too much. Have already been watching my intake and starting exercising the first of the year to help get me prepared which has led me to drop 15 lbs since then. I've lost 22 since I took the first big step of scheduling my seminar and getting the process started 5 months ago. Excited to have started losing but sure seems like I should have lost more with all I've cut from my diet and the activity I've added in. Oh well...story of my life so far, but not for long!

I'm on 3-11! I was going to have it done back in December, but I wasn't ready. I've had a lot of time now to carefully think and prepare. Welcome and good luck to all of us!

I'm scheduled for 3/3!! I seriously am starting to freak. I'm just sooo ready for the surgery to be over and the pain if any to be gone. I'm on day 4 of the liquid diet and I am seriously head hungry. I keep passing my favorite places to eat and thinking "man, I hope this is worth it." 20lbs down already here's to hoping healthy by this time next year!

        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
