3 weeks until my big day. Starting my pre-op diet today, because I want to meet my goal that I set for myself of being 300 or lower on the day of my surgery. I am not nervous or anything I have had a bunch of surgeries already. I am just ready to get it over with, I am tired of counting down the days.

well I had my surgery yesterday and I am amazed by the pain I have. They keep telling me its gas, but it feels like I am getting stabbed. Hope this doesn't last long. Will be coming home today.

I go for my preop testing this afternoon -- surgery Monday morning. That is if insurance cooperates -- I got a call from the surgeon's office yesterday that insurance needed a copy of my sleep study report from last year. They already had a clearance letter from the pulmonologist and I've been on cpap for a year but they were asking for one more piece of info. I'm praying this doesn't mean my surgery is going to get denied after pre-approval.

Send happy thoughts my way.

@chrisglowers

Glad to hear you made it out surgery! Sorry to hear about stabbing pain. Is the hospital managing it with pain meds? When do you expect to go home?

Chrisflowers.. I was told that pain could be gas but also from all the poking and prodding they do on the left side. Get up and walk walk walk...

        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.

      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
