Congratulations to you! My surgery is scheduled for the 23rd (next week). I'm so nervous but I'm so excited to have those moments. One of my mini goals is to be able to wear the dresss I wore to my rehearsal dinner for my wedding. It's been ten years and I loved that dress. Yes I've kept it all this time in hopes I could get it on. :) I can't wait to wear it again. Serioulsy, I'm so happy for you!

Ty ty! ! Ur day is coming! I just left my internists dr he didn't do the surgery he is one of the drs that steered me to have it...he's been encouraging me the past 6 months...he was thrilled when he looked at my online report..his face lit up!! I told him about the esophagus spasms I had being I also had hernia repair. .he said it didn't surprise me..it's major surgery. ..all nerves are detached..so he gave me some lidocaine to spray way back in throat to numb..but I told him the first 5 days were worst an there easing up..much better..after day 1 since I still couldn't sip bc of pain spasm I told my surgeon I wanted another day of iv fluids didn't want dehydrated so I spent 2 full days..don't leave hospital unless u can down liquid...yea it's going to take around the waking hrs to sip but I no some drs are fast to get u out like u no wat. ..talk to him be for ur date an then remind him of wat u bog talked about..believe me they don't remember they do this soo much! Hang in there...oh an I have been using the chike nutrition Protein flavors an I bout a different brand at Kroger unflavor Protein I put it in my Soups,coffee, tea..yogurt..whatever food just to make sure I'm getn enuff protein. .you can do this!! :)

        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
