Hey all!

So I seriously thought I was going to be scheduling my surgery on the 27th, but the office called today and told me my appt is TOMORROW! I am so excited... I really cannot believe that everything is happening so fast. Unlike many of those I've read about on here, my journey has been fairly short and fast-paced. My first appointment was JUNE 15 and I only had to complete some requirements: Psych eval and NUT consult, as well as a support group visit.

Now, JULY 21st is the day I set the date that will completely change my life forever. I cannot explain how ready I am, nor how excited I am. I can't wait to feel the pain and earn the LOSS ;), & come out on top.

The aim for the surgery date is late August / early September. Gosh, this is surreal!!

Well, thanks for taking your time to read my post!

God Bless,

Dana

Thanks Monnie!!

Once you go into a specific (what I call) "log of forums" there should be an option at the top that says "Start new topic" -- at least on the full website. I'm not sure about the mobile app tho.

Hi everyone. Today I see my surgeon to get a date for surgery. I'm so nervous and excited at the same time. I just want to be on the other side already. The losing side. I began my journey on April 15th. I have had all my tests done. My insurance already gave the okay for the surgery. I guess I am a little nervous about the after care. I am very fortunate that my nutritionist told me she will walk me through this. She will call me once a week for a half hour at a time to make sure that I am doing the right thing. She also will be showing me how to make my own Protein Shakes. I guess now I know that I won't be alone through this journey. I am grateful to everyone here and all my medical team for all they will do to help me through this journey. I am most grateful to my husband for supporting me on this journey. I will definitely keep you posted on my date of surgery. Thanks all for listening. I hope you share a similar date to mine.

@@kozyjozie I totally understand the feelings of nervousness & excitement. I feel your pain. That's wonderful the your NUT will walk you through this. It helps keep you accountable and focused. But, if you ever mess up don't be afraid to be honest with them. It allows them to be fully helpful, even if you mess up.

I'm so happy that we are getting out dates on the same day! Keep all of us posted!

      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
