Got my date! Feb 25!



Recommended Posts

I was down another 3 lbs at my visit today, for a total loss of 19 lbs since my first visit with the surgeon on Nov. 17. She wants me to get my BMI under 50 for the surgery, but she says she's confident that I can do it.

Hubby and I are sneaking off to Vegas for Valentine's Day weekend. I plan to be fairly good and continuing to avoid bread and Pasta and focus on lean Proteins, but I will be having adult beverages and not skipping dessert. As long as I stick to the plan before and after, I should be good. I will have 9 days of preop diet after the trip. Her preop diet is less than 30g carbs, at least 70g Protein, and fats in moderation. Clear liquids the day before the surgery.

She uses the Da Vinci robot. The plan is for outpatient surgery with 23 hours of observation, so I will be spending the night but it's technically outpatient.

I reacted badly to a pain medication after my last round of lithotripsy, but I don't rememeber what it is. I have a call in to my urologist to find out. I know I'm allergic to codeine, so finding a pain med could be tricky. I know I've taken hydrocodone a few times and I am hoping that it's not the one I reacted to.

So excited!

      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
