Hey!! I am hoping to resurrect this thread :) I am having my surgery next Wednesday (jan20th) in Boise. I will be traveling from the other side of Burley so we will staying a couple nights before surgery. It's a little strange going so far from home to have surgery. Any surgery I have had before was near family or friends.

Hi there - I live in Boise and had the sleeve surgery back in June. I am sure it'll go great, just remember to sip that Water afterward and move around as much as you can to work out any gas. You got this!

I personally like the Isopure zero carbs line of protien drinks, I got an Amazon Prime membership as all the supplements etc. we need are good priced, great selection and most two day shipping for free.

Dr Valentine is doing mine and I go to the twin falls meetings. This month was my first and it was fantastic.

Had my first consult with Dr. Valentine yesterday. I have a few hoops to jump through for insurance approval. Hopefully I will be able to have surgery in about four months. Wish it was today. Nervous and excited. Anyone else out there in the same situation?

How many weeks before surgery did dr. Valentine have you on a liquid diet? Just wondering. Thanks.

Boise sleevers ?? I am a month or so from sleeve surgery with Dr. Korn. I am becoming too anxious or Ansy,I am so excited to get started. Even though I am eating over 60 grams of Protein and over 64 oz of Water. Already changed,my coffee routine down to one cup. Homemade Creamer sugar free Syrup and fat/reg 1/2 of each half and half. Going out to eat. Makes it easy in a lot of places have calorie count. Tilapia is my new favorite food grilled in the oven with seasoning. Sliced avacado and pico,lemon. I am having no loss though. I do know I need more activity's to be involved with

      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.
