I am from Minnesota live in Owatonna, Mn, But I am having Gastric Bypass on July 13 at Abbott in MPLS. I start my 2 week liquid diet on the 29th and have my physical that Monday morning. Then I am ready,

niceee!! I was born at Abbott lol but that's cool I want to experience a big wls community within mn to arrange meet ups and go and share stories with others!! Of course not until the time is right but I think it would be awesome!!

Hi! My surgery is July 13, next week I start the liquid diet 2 weeks, I hope this the right decision I really think so its mostly for my health diabetes and my heart the extra weight?? so I know its the right choice just wish it was over and I was on my way DOWN . I am retired so I have a lot of time to think about it I sit and wonder how thin I well get if it well be really hard hoping I don't get sick. Anyway can't worry about something that's not in our hands.Good luck to you and lets keep in touch.

Oh Juno5 where R U up north? We love it up there we did own a cabin on Leavitt Lake by the big Roosavelt. We love all the summer garage sales and shopping in Nisswa,going into Brainard for shopping or movie, we would go to casino at northern lights in Walker, shopping in Walker was fun all those neat brands!!! now we can walk into a store (soon) and we well have sizes to wear or buy.We liked the beach in Walker they had vendors and nice sand my grandchildren loved playing there. You live in Gods Country up there????

      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
