Like I said before, I have really bad heartburn all the time so my dr is going to be checking for any damage and a possible hernia.

On a side note, I'm kinda bummed as my Nut appointment that was scheduled for this Wednesday was rescheduled for the 20th. But.... I'm still on the fast track (at least in my head) to getting this surgery done.

:D

I just had my first class with the surgeons office on Monday and now I'm patiently waiting for my Nut appointment on the 20th. My endo was rescheduled for next month but other than that It seems like everything is on schedule so far!

I met with the surgeon and case manager today for our first appointment. They are looking at either the end of July or early August for my procedure. I have blood work and an EKG tomorrow and then need to meet with the Psychologist before we can move forward.

Awesome for you! I started the Protein Drinks for my Breakfast and only 1 glass of pop a day. Losing a pound a day. Drinking lots of Water for first time in my life. Easier than I thought. I also like the shakes

Don't blame you st all. It's all I can think or talk about. My husband said he wished it was now, cause all I talk about is the weight loss and exercise. Lol

Glad I'm not the only one who is obsessed with having their surgery! LOL! I think since I made this decision, I've been driving my friends crazy with surgery talk. LOL! I even joked with my co workers about being happy that I won't be able to eat much after surgery the other day. This is an exciting time for us all!

My second class with at the surgeons office is going to be on June 8th. That only leaves my endo and the final class before surgery can happen!

:D

Rwoods200 My next appointment is also the 8th. My endo is the 5th. Sounds like we'll be having surgery around the same time.

        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.

      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
