Tomorrow is my 24hr liquid day and Wednesday is the big day!!! I'm so numb to emotion right now. I truly don't know how I'm feeling... I just can't believe the time has come!

I'm in Hampton Virginia. My surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet. I only have to be on Clear Liquids for 24 hours prior to surgery. I think it depends on what your BMI is and how your liver function test comes back. I guess I am lucky. Good luck to you also.

My surgery date is Oct 28th but today was crazy day in this crazy journey. Last week my surgeons office tells me that they have not received a support letter from my primary care doctor, so i call to get this taken care off, they tell me they will get back to me. So, today they call me to tell me that my doctor supports the surgery but doesn't thinks it is necessary to write the letter. I call the doctors office back to tell them it is necessary and they tell me that the doctor is out of the country until October 13( too late to get insurance approval by the 28th). They said that they could try to get the doctor to send a letter before they have no contact with her until the 13th. Thank god she sent the letter so they can send to the insurance for approval. I have my pre surgery check up with my primary care, my pre op appointments set, and last nutritionist appointment set to start my liver reduction diet. Then on the 28th I get my birthday present, my surgery. Nervous but excited.

        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
