Looking for comforting words



Recommended Posts

Hi I hope everyone is in good health today. My surgery was scheduled for tomorrow morning but had to be rescheduled to July 17th. I'm feeling really disappointed and I know I have no choice but to wait. I'm trying my best to accept that I have to wait about 3 weeks and feel content that I'm still getting the surgery. I know if anyone can relate to what I'm feeling it would be my fellow sleevers. Please share some words of wisdom. Thank you in advance.

I don't have any advice but just wanted to say so sorry. I know that is disappointing. I can only imagine how I would react to that! HUGS!

I had to postpone 6 weeks because insurance didn't approve me in time to do pre-op prep and surgery in time for my Spring Break. The time will go quickly and will still be the right time for you! Hang in there!

Oh wow can I relate after months of a special diet a million appts and tests etc etc finally I was approved for surgery and then told I'd have to wait ten weeks as the surgeon was going on vacation lol I screamed I was like for ten freakin weeks? now I know why this procedure costs so much clearly I need to go to medical school .... after my meltdown I got on the schedule and calmed the hell down that day I can tell u I wished I still smoked then the day of my surgery came finally I get there for all the crap you gotta do and the surgeon comes in three hours later after I had been there since 530 am and said there was a mistake and my surgery wasn't going to happen that day honey I was like well prepare for an autopsy ... Yours... Omg I was freakin pissed turns out the staff entered incorrect info into my file it was like a shit show from beginning to end with one thing and another during this whole process I started to wonder if they just screw with you because they can

Hi yes I'm sorry I guess I must not have been clear I have had my sleeve in late February it turned out someone on the staff put incorrect info In my file as far meds I told them it was wrong and they could call my pharmacy and check that I had the right RX and blood test me so it turned out ok thank god cuz I was sure at my limit with patience and had no good humor left by then after months of tests and delays and u send records over and they deny relieving them etc was just a long process and very stressful I sure hope others have easier times

So sorry that has happened to you. I can imagine that being difficult news with all of the preparation and anticipation. I thought mine was going to be postponed and they ended up being able to squeeze me in that evening. So I have some idea of that feelings you are feeling!

Hang in there! It will be here soon and you will be on your way!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
