I'm trying so hard to do lots of things before next Thursday (surgery day). Not sure why I did not plan better. Trying to add extra insurance plans, update will, organize house, do heavy lifting that won't be allowed next month, organize clothes. I'm so tired. Want to deep clean the house since people will be staying a few nights but just decided to hire someone and go enjoy my life the next few days.

Had my last steak last night probably for quite sometime. shakes all day then dinner of my choice. Tonight is pizza, tomorrow Indian food. I am starting liquids Sunday even though they are not required until Tuesday.

So just enjoying time with friends and family and some meals out.

Totally prepared for a change now. Been working toward this for months.

Ordered a few more coffee sample packs (protein) since i gave up coffee, and some Soups with Protein, plain Protein powder and a few kinds of regular flavor powders.

Packing my bag up tomorrow for the hospital. Getting a few extra blender bottles tomorrow and a ninja to blend my drinks in.

Enjoying a day with my friend tomorrow getting wax, nails and lunch maybe massage . A day of pampering! Then Sunday six flags for my sons bday.

By Monday am I will have nothing else to do but wait for Thursday! Super stoked!

So happy for you i pray that I get to the point where your at just waiting on the last few days of the count down. I have met with my dietitian for 16 months now, and the referral department is turning in the paper work for a referral to see a psych Dr. do I have that right when the referral department turn in their paper work is it for a approval of the surgery then i go see a psych Dr. or is the approval just for the psych a Dr? Well I am glad for yo I hope my turn is soon. I wish you a safe and easy recovery, and lots of shed pounds.

My program through kaiser doesn't require approvals just an appointment to see a surgeon and the psych eval so once they gave me the appointments and I lost the required weight then I got my surgery date.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
