Im all set and will have surgery on December 1. I am currently on the 2 week pre op diet and in 5 days

am down 8 pounds. Thanksgiving will be TOUGH. I told my doctor that I AM going to cheat on

Thanksgiving as this will be my last one before surgery. I won't OVER DO it but I am going to have

stuffing. Very nervous but also looking forward to getting past the first week.

@@leemcel I don't have a date yet but I was approved by Cigna this week :) I have to wait until Dec 1st to hear back from my Dr about h pylori bacteria in my stomach. If I still have it I will have to do another round of antibiotics and won't get my surgery this year. The important thing is to get rid of that so I don't have any complications. If it comes back clear, I'll be able to get my December date. Just have to wait and see, and pray for good news! :D

My surgery is set for 12/15! I am excited, but also very nervous about having the surgery. Jumped thru all the hoops tho' & it is finally going to happen. I start my pre-op diet on December 1st & have been researching different Protein Drinks & shakes. I keep telling myself I can do anything for a month (liquids), & I think back on all the diets & crazy things (like hypnosis & staples in my ear) to lose weight & realize that this will be the first time that I will make a New Years resolution & actually be able to keep it! I am so ready to change my life!

My surgery date is Dec 4th. I am nervous and excited. I started my liquid diet on Thurs. So today is only my 3rd day. Its Sat morning and I woke up and thought I am going to take kids to Breakfast and then remembered never mind. Its hard to wrap my head around thinking I won't have real food again until Jan. sometime. I have 3 kids and a single mom I just don't want any complications. I just have to do this for my health. I am going to be positive. Good luck to all who have surgeries coming up in Dec. Best Christmas gift to ourselves!????????????

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
