I'm nervous too. Maybe because I work in a hospital and have seen the bad more than the good.

I also work in the hospital - it sucks bc the people doing my surgery are people I know (so awkward)! When is your date? Do they do a foley ?

I am having mine on July 20. I am going to ask them to bypass the foley. I am hoping they don't put one in. Lol! I do know my surgeon, but not a whole lot since I work in case management and mostly stay in an office. One of the unit secretaries used my surgeon for her surgery and told him I was coming to see him. Lol...so now he knows me. :)

My surgery is scheduled for July 21. I'm having a revision from the lapband to sleeve. A little nervous but wishing surgery was done already!

Definitely!! Sounds like our regimens are a bit different pre-surgery, but our journeys will still be similar. Is this your first bariatric surgery? @@Bullydog Mom

Mine is just very low carb until the last three days, which are liquid only. I feel lucky about that. Low carb is a breeze by comparison.

      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.
