I'm excited I have done the whole weight loss program and now finally get to go meet who will be my surgeon. For those who are not from Worcester, MA or have gone to different programs. In UMASS in Worcester you do your orientation, then intake followed by nutritionist visits ( I had 3) and Psych visit ( lucky for me only needed 1) and then your group meetings which here are 2 meetings. And in between all of this you are to go do any other requirements you were asked to do ( sleep apnea test, ekg, etc). After all of this then the weight center signs off and you will get a call from your surgeons office to do the first appointment with them. Which for me is today! YAY.

I'm excited, anxious and hope that he agrees with all that I have done and feels that we can submit so soon I may get my surgery date because I want to start the new me as soon as possible. I have worked hard towards it and feel that I deserve to be a healthier me. Can't wait to see what happens. Wishing and praying for the best. Always positive.

And just for an FYI. To all who have been posting your stories on here and have gone through the procedure and are going to go through the journey. Best of luck you all are inspiring many of us and helping us to continue forward with our own journeys and demonstrating that obstacles may come but in the end a healthier us will happen if we continue to push and move forward. Thanks for the motivation.

    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
