I did get some but I'm puzzled because I know people whom have gotten sleeved and haven't had to do the Protein diet so I'm not sure if I should do it or not

I would follow what your doctor says about the pre-op diet. It really varies a lot. But it wouldn't hurt to have at least one Protein Drink a day. That way you can start finding out which ones you like so you will be set for post-op.

Did anyone have really intensive pre-op testing? My friend did not for her WLS but mine lasted 3 hours today and I'm sore and bruised from the ultrasound (I've never experienced a painful ultrasound before but this one had me in tears.) I had to do a needle test in pulmonary, an upper GI and x-rays, blood work, a heart test, a lung test and a pee test. Mind you Im in my 30's and besides being obese, am 100% healthy.

I had to do a chest X-ray, EKG, blood work, urine. No ultrasound no needle no upper gi.

I just had an ekg and blood work. I had already had a sleep study before. Those are the things my doctor requires. That kinda seems excessive.

      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. 🤞
