June 18th is the big day. I've been so excited every since I got approved but once I got my date I started having second thoughts !! Has this happened to anybody else? I'm still going to do it. It's one thing to go thru the process but now I have my date in 2 weeks. I can't wait ....or maybe I can lol.

Yup, I just had a meltdown in the bathroom at work, complete with sobbing and hyperventilating. But I'm also on my period plus on the pre-op liquid diet, so I'm all over the place mentally and emotionally right now. :/

I think a lot of us felt that way ~

- I have the surgical date!

- Huh? OMG can I go thru with the surgery?

Make sure you are mentally and physically ready. research and follow all the of the doctors orders. hydrate up until the LAST minute - waiting for the leak test was insane for me.

I'm ready for it but I'm nervous everyday that passes I keep getting closer. My doctor only has me doing a clear liquid diet 1day before so I'm not getting the hell of a few weeks of only liquids which is good o suppose but I haven't read anybody else only do one day. It's nerve racking ????????. And I keep having dreams about being in pain afterwards. I think that's my biggest fear of the surgery !

@@lex8701 : Not too long now and I guess nerves will play a part. Just make this time fly by with preparing for afterwards. Make broth, clean the house, sort out all the laundry, meet with friends and family, go shopping for something really nice for yourself, do lots you might not be able to do for a while after the op. Mine is July 23rd and I have a ton of stuff to keep me busy once July 1st hits. In Alex's book it states you should take time to prepare, cover every eventuality, boring but needed anyway... In very excited for you and wish you all the best in your run up to 'the day' :D

Kind Regards

Kate

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

        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
