Surgery on Monday 02/02/15!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I'm brand spanking new to this forum. I'm scheduled to be sleeved on monday the 2nd of February. I'm so excited! I got approval on a Monday and was scheduled just one week later. I wasn't expecting it to come so fast but they had a cancellation so I took it. I'm on my pre op diet, 4 days in and it's horrible! I'm really not hungry but my brain isn't doing well lol. I'm in a brain fog and this fatigue is awful. I can't hardly type but my brain won't let me sleep.

I've been working towards this surgery for 13 months now, finally!! I'm so close. I've been struggling with my weight since I had my first son. Since he was born I stayed big and can't seem to lose more than 20 lbs. I'm 5'2, 254 pounds as of Thursday. My goal ultimate goal is 140 but I'll be super happy if I can get back to 160. Hopefully I'm posting this in the right group or forum or whatever it's called. I think I can sleep better knowing I can look to this app for advice and support. :))

Great to hear. We can do this together. I am feeling okay, not the greatest but that can be expected after surgery. My biggest problem is the gas pain in my stomach. Other than that everything is good

      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
