Recommended Posts

I will be having my surgery on September 29th! I am so excited! Its been a long process to get the approval both from my insurance and from my boss for the time off, but I finally have both and will have surgery in less than 2 weeks!

I finally understand what all the excitement over getting a surgery date is about!

@KristenLee- Have you started your pre-op diet yet? I think I start on monday (possibly Sunday). I have to go to a 4-hour nutrition class next Wednesday and do pre-op testing and see the surgeon for my pre-op visit on the same day.

This is all getting real!

I only had to lose 10 pounds and NO 2 week pre-op diet! I am so grateful! I only have to do all liquids 2 days prior to sugery. I have done all necessary testing and I am ready to go! Just anxiously awaiting the 29th!!

That's great! I wasn't required to lose a certain amount before surgery. I just have to do a liquid diet one week before sugery and then a clear liquid diet 1 day before surgery.

awwww bud :)

such great news to hear on a tuesday (or any other day ;) )

different emotions are common to experience til surgery (and after too) :)

excitement, nerves, concern, doubt, fear , anticipation - but hopefully mostly happiness :blush:

but at the end of the day you made the wise decision to have WLS :)

don't 2nd guess yourself now!!! :wacko:

you are on the way to a healthier, happier, longer life :)

enjoy the ride :)

good luck :)

Yeah! I'm so glad to find more people having it the same day! Do you have to do a pre-op diet? It fascinates me to hear the the differences in the pre-op stuff.

Yes I'm 2 weeks of 3 shakes a day with sf Jello and sf Popsicles and occasional leafy greens. It's not fun and I'm not fun to be around right now :(

wow just think of what the reward will be at the end! It'll be so worth it. I thought I'd be 100% ready to start my shakes/full liquids when the time came but since I just got scheduled so close to having surgery I am not sure I am fully prepared. I have been replacing Breakfast with a shake for a while now so maybe it won't be so bad. I'm giving myself for it all to sink in and hopefully I'll be ready by Monday.

I know! I am excited! I started my liquid diet this morning! It's not been too bad so far. But, I started substituting breakfast with Protein shakes back in August so that I could get used to it and I have Soup for lunch often, so it hasn't been much of a change. Now when I have to do another shake at dinner time, that will probably be tough.

        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
