June 15th is my date. pre-op complete, begin diet on 6/8. It's getting real!!

I've not told anyone other than immediate family. I'm curious to see how it plays out at work. I'm taking vacation since I have some carryover to use so I've not had to tell anyone at all at work.

I'm June 23rd! Scared, but ready. I keep looking at my 3 year old daughter and know it's the right thing to do.

I am June 23rd also☺

My surgery is June 12 - one week from tomorrow. But I still haven't got final approval from my insurance. I'm a little worried but dr office said it will be fine. I hope they are right. I'm so psyched up. Start my pre op diet in the morning. Only liquids for the next week. I'm just going to try to keep busy all week. Hopefully the week will pass quickly and my approval will come through. I have my fingers (and everything else) crossed.

same date as me !

My family keeps asking me if I'm getting nervous and the answer is No! I'm excited! I just watched a video of my sons wedding from 3 weeks ago and I think I would have been in tears after watching myself if I didn't know my date was so close. Are you getting nervous yet?

My date is June 15th. I started my preop diet Monday and a modified version the week before. So far I have lost 10 pounds. I'm so ready. Not nervous at all, just impatiently waiting and anticipating a great life ahead with half of me gone!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
