May 19th here in Upstate New York ...

First I have to have my nasty Lap-Band out on April 14th, then after a 5 week healing period I get my sleeve.

Just starting to make my post-op shopping list ...I plan to do my prep shopping after the band removal in an attempt to make the 5 week break between procedures go faster..

Best wishes to all !!!!!

I was able to have both done at the same time. The doctor said it was a 50/50 shot but I woke up sleeved. And I had been banded a LONG time, and had some major issues. I would ask if it can be done in one shot if at all possible.

I got my band in Oct 2008 and have not had any real problems except not being able to eat anything of substance without getting sick but my dr said he waits 5-6 wks to give the stomach time to heal and reshape itself. He said it reduces the chances of complications. I really don't mind since I only started the process a couple of months ago so things have moved very fast! He unfilled my band on 1/30 & when i went back to see him in March & I told him I wanted to move forward with the sleeve- he gave me my dates immediately- I was kind of surprised !

Not unheard of, I start a pre op diet 2 weeks before mine. I will be drinking a shake called Optifast, it will shrink my liver and the fat around my liver to make it easier for the surgeon. That is as amazing gift to you Hun, a new life starting at 40 for you :D. My pre op is tomorrow and they're also going to be checking my gallbladder so it's going to be a long day, I'm nervous about the tube they are going to put down my throat, I will be sedated though :(

Hey guys, well tomorrow is my day April21st.. I'm

Beyond anxious. Wondering is my house clean enough the the hubby ok taking over my usually duties. Dear god I hope he feeds the dog. Etc I'm shakey and anxious yet excited and impatient. I just want to do it already and start healing. Any last tips?? My anxiety is so high I feel like I am about to pass out :( I know I am being a baby but I can't help it. Starting weight was 273lbs but now I'm weighing in at 253.2lbs after the preop diet... I really want to get down to 135-145lbs. Is that likely possible? I'm 24 athletic flexible etc... Sorry I'm rambling. Good luck fellow 21st sleeves!!

My thoughts are with you and I'm sending you all the calming vibes I can muster.i know that I will feel the same way. Just think, this time tomorrow you'll be on the losers bench. I'm kinda jealous:) maybe take a nice long bubble bath and try to get some sleep. I can't wait until you tell us how great you're feeling post op and keep us informed of your progress. *hugs*

      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
