My PMS lastes 1.5 weeks before hand, so I feel you there. Meds don't help with me and I get most of the symptoms. Glad its helping you!

I sympathize with you PMS ladies. One of the few good things about getting old is I don't have to deal with that anymore!

sooooo, one thing I didn't think about when I started the pre-op diet: pms. today is miserable, and I gained a pound, which I think is from bloat, because I def haven't had enough food to gain. hoping these cramps and cravings will go away; those symptoms, plus a rainy day here in VA is making this day no fun, so far.

I agree! The rain here in VA has been the pits this week! I thought we were going to get it again this evening but we didn't. It got so dark so fast! Glad it's over. I have been watching the weather for next week after my surgery and I am thinking some R&R in the sun is coming up!

Yes. We'll be able to get out and stretch our legs, walk out some GAS, in good weather! That rain was terrible! Where in VA are you located? NOVA? Hampton Roads? Central?

My second submission to insuarance was sent in on April 29th, and a date of May 13 for surgery was given. Just waiting on approval after the 6 month Dr supervised diet.

Getting excited!

Wish me luck, and good luck to all of you soon-to-be-banders! :)

      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.
