I started my journey earlier this year. It's been along 6+ months, however in the past couple weeks it has flown right by. I find out when I have to be at the hospital today for my surgery tomorrow. I think this is going to be a long day for me waiting for them to call. Hopefully, I will be near the top of the patient list. If they go alphabetical... well I'm screwed. My last name start with U. ???? I'm very excited to start this new chapter in my life. There is so many things I want to do that I have not done before and things that I have done but I wanted you again only this time they should be a lot easier to do. I have a lot of support for my family including my 8 year old niece, who is one of the reasons I want to do this.

Don't want to be last but nervous about being first. That's funny, but understandable. Good luck and congrats.

@jayloui

after many surgeries - i've usually been lucky enough to have surgery early in the morning

doc has had his coffee, and is wide awake, waiting just for YOU :rolleyes:

arriving 6:00 am at hospital

you won't have hours to be nervous and scared

as far as docs sleep..............

how about running over with a sedative/sleeping pill ;)

glad you have support/especially from that cutey of a niece :rolleyes:

tomorrow is the start of your new healthier, happier, longer life :rolleyes:

I am lucky enough to have the first spot on my day. Arrival time 5:30am surgery to begin at 7:30. I agree early is best. Anytime I have had surgery I always ask to be first case. Good luck to you!

        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
