Mine is also the 29th! But unfortunately it's the 29th of July. But I've waited this long, my day too will come. ????

Congratulations! You are going to do wonderfully and will have all the great people here to help you along the way. Let us know how you're doing. You are just hours away from a terrific new life!

Hey Peg, thanks! Funny enough I wish I had 2 weeks to go lol. My doctor didn't have me on a liquid diet, I got to have Protein Shakes and fruits and meats, just weighed out. I don't think I could survive on 2 weeks of liquids, good luck ! I'll see you on the flip side, so we can exchange recipes at some point soon !

Mea culpa yours is the 30th. My mistake. Sometimes my excitement gets ahead of me. Aside from the date everything else I said stands!

I actually have cried a lot today. Both good tears and fear tears. But mostly good tears. I'm glad I finally stuck up for myself and determined I am worthy of feeling better about myself.

You were always worthy Kell, it's just a matter of realizing it, and I'm glad you did ! I know that this is the best thing for us both, the way I'm looking at it is that this is just the scary part before our new lives begin. I just finished crying, not sure what your hospital is like but my nurse at doctors office said she'll have the nurses at the hospital give me something for the anxiety before the surgery... What time is your surgery ? Mine is going to be around 11:30, sadly I'm the 3rd person tomorrow ????

      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
