Youtibe and wikapedia are great for research not so good for facts. We all want something to blame when things go wrong cancer is a sad thing. Why is not as important as getting better so move on and find a way to get better instead of trying to draging a bunch of people down with you. My chances of getting cancer have went down with this weight loss but no one knows for sure what causes cancer and most studies show corilation not cause. Studies on breast cancer and certain family trates only show a corilation not a cause. If some how telling everybody on this forum that they are going to die from cancer mak get better go ahead but state real facts and state that GERD has been found to be a factor in getting cancer not a cause and if you have sever GERD than check with your Doctor.

With my Insurance and my surgen GERD would have kept me from having the sleeve or band and move toward RNY.

I thought a sleeve was irreversible...how would that even work?

How would which part even work? If you are referencing the OP's original post, it is in reference to band, so ... I don't think they realized where they were posting this, but I was not going to move it as I don't want to alter their intention.

It is my opinion they got a little ahead of themselves and didn't objectively look at the information they were posting.

Again, we all need to settle down here a bit and be objective ourselves. A lot of people are getting equally excited and ahead of themselves, so, let's all just take a deep breath.

Nothing to see here ... move along, folks.

        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
