I have to be there at 10:30am, surgery at 12:30pm. Sounds like you may be his first patient of the day. He told me he had surgery all day today and tomorrow. Are you nervous? How did your pre-op go? I'm feeling tired, hungry and weak.

I'm working today, but I wish I would have taken the day off.

Are you packed? What did you pack?

I don't have a date yet, but I'm with Dr. Hart and I'm in Sugar Hill/Suwanee area. I'll be at Emory at Johns Creek as well. Good luck everyone!

@@MoJo119 I am feeling extremely tired and wishing that I took the day off as well. It's hard to concentrate. I have not packed but I have an idea on what I want to take with me. I am hoping to be the first one so I can get to recovery and my room. I am extremely nervous and anxious at the same time.

I certainly hope we can stay in touch while at the hospital. I will be using my cell phone there and I'm not sure if I can get the alerts like I do with the computer. I plan to take toiletries, a pair of slippers, a robe, and shorts.

I have friend who had a gastric bypass with Dr. Hart a few years ago. I heard he was a good surgeon. Johns Creek is way too far for me to travel, especially if there are complications. Good luck to you!

yes, we can stay in touch while there. I will have my iPad so I will check in once I'm feeling good. I just packed and I am taking about the same as you. My mom is going to stay with me in the hospital. I can't talk her out of it...she is such a worry wart....so I think her staying is more for her than me...lol

Anyway, I'll talk to you later. Best wishes with everything, I'll say a prayer for you.

I'm extremely lucky because Dr. Hart is less than a mile from my work. I've only heard great things about him and I was impressed when I met him. He reviewed my file before even walking into the room. He knew I had asthma, PCOS, and a steroid hypersensitivity without even looking at my chart. I was shocked. I think I'm in good hands and it's always nice to have confidence in your surgeon before undergoing major surgery!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
