Received my surgery date and it's September 16th...would love to have a buddy

I just received my approval for surgery!!! My date is September 15th! So relieved, insurance took 27 out of their 30 days to approve me.

My date is September 16th @ 7:30am! I am excited and nervous! I am right outside of DC and could use a "ride along" buddy to share updates with. I am currently working my way through my 2 week liquid diet.

I'd love to have a support buddy too!! ???? I'm only on day 2 of my clear liquid diet, I have a 5 year old I still have to cook for when his Dad isn't home... I feel better today than yesterday but I'm scared these Protein Drinks & SF Jello are getting old fast!!!

Anyone have any good Clear Liquids they can share?!

I'm almost 2 days in the book, 8 left then my Big Day!!

I have my appointment with the surgeon Sept 11th, and anticipate getting a surgery date then. I am hoping for September 22 or 23 as I am in school and do not have a test that week. I have met all of the requirements and have been in the process of this approval for a year, and this is not my first meeting with this surgeon. I MIGHT BE A SEPTEMBER TOO!!!! YAY!!!!

I'm Sept 16th. Only a few more days to go. I'm having a revision from band to bypass. I'm praying that my surgeon can do both in the same surgery, otherwise I have to wait until December.

Good luck to everyone!

Hello I'm having my surgery on September 15. It's a Nissan takedown gall bladder removal hernia repaired for the third time and a gastric bypass. Trust me I'm nervous. Only gotta do liquid diet 5 days pre-op so that's good but today the headache is terrible and I've been terribly moody. Guess that's to be expected. I would love to be your surgery buddy. I'm traveling 5 hours to Pittsburgh to have it done. Good luck to you

The headache is unbearable for me! That and now I'm getting the sniffles!!! This stinks! Don't worry, you're not the only one who is moody either!! My husband comes in reading me the menu to a restaurant here in town that he's taking my son to dinner to tonight & I went off on him!!! He's lucky I didn't toss my Protein Drink at him lol

I'm closing out day 6 of 10, praying I keep going. I've been weak and moody but tonight and getting a second wind!

I'm praying for you all!! This is tough, but it's our second lease on life!! ❤️

My surgery is scheduled for the 15th. Santa Barbara, CA

I'm glad I only have two days of clear liquids over the weekend. Time is passing quickly and I'm a little nervous, but excited.

I just got my date!!!!!!!! September 22!!!!! I was going to have to wait until October, but as I was leaving they had a cancellation-- it just goes to show that things happen when they are supposed to, and not before. I have been waiting for a year for this to happen! Yay!

        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
