Hey surgery buddies :) mine is July 13th and I start the pre op diet on June 29th! I am sooo excited and terrified at the same time!!! What are your worst fears? Mine are definitely that I won't stay on track after surgery and the pre op diet! ????

Hey girl! I am starting my pre-op on July 5th (gotta have 1 more hotdog for the 4th lol). I think my biggest fear is post-op eating. I have my nutrition guide and everything but I don't want to eat the wrong stuff and fail. I think because I am Cash Pay and if I don't loose the weight I want to it's like 15,000 down the drain.

I am scheduled for July 15. I only have Clear Liquids the day before surgery. I am really nervous and am fighting off second thoughts. I still have a cardiac clearance on Monday to get through but everything else has been completed. I am self paying because our insurance does not cover any weight loss surgery.

@nikkiblueeyes yes, I sure am. I am in Middle Tennessee and mine is $12k. I could probably have paid for this with the money I spent on yo-yo dieting and trying every new plan on the market. Grrrr! I'm thinking about per pound the cost and I sure don't want to screw this up!

I was looking at a center in Tennessee but my family was concerned about the traveling from New Jersey. I was happy to find a place in New Jersey that offered cash pay at a decent rate $15,000. My goal is to be down 145 lbs so it's $103 per pond lol

I can understand their concerns. My original date my husband was out of town and I was going to count on a family member and that was scary... I can't imagine be away from home that far! Yep, bout a $102 a pound... Whew!! And to think how excited I get when chicken breast is on sale for $3 a pound... Lol

      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.
