Sept date I am all set



Recommended Posts

Jay05 My surgeon told me that the liquid diet prior to your surgery helps the healing. It is less painful and heals faster. It wouldn't hurt right.

My surgery date is set for September 14 in California.

I am on a liquid diet at the moment with a small meal in the evening. Headaches are awful!! But from what I've read on this site.. it gets easier!!

How are you feeling about your surgery? not long for you either. I can believe mine is in 2 days!!!

Called my case worker yesterday to go over some last minute details.

Turns out my surgery is on the 11th and not the 10th as I had originally assumed. There was a mis-communication when I booked my surgery to what I had told my case worker regarding booking.

Now I will be in TJ 2 days pre-op. Time to get in some shopping, sightseeing and POOL TIME !!

Makes me a tad nervous that I will only have 2 days post-op in the hospital instead of the optional 3.

Fingers cross there is no drainage issues before I get discharged and come home.

I am Sept 17th. I start the liquid diet tomorrow and I'm freaking out - it just seems impossible. I will miss the food!

Hi there ,

I started the process mid June...I was having problems with my lapband so they did an EGD and found I had a hernia. My insurance is covering that and I'm cash pay for the remainder.

@@pindoctor I'm in the same boat. Scheduled for the 17th. Waiting for my psych to be sent to my bariatric doctor so they can send all the info to my insurance. I was told my insurance company only takes a couple days to approve so I should be fine but I started pre op diet today. ???? went pretty good.

My surgery is tomorrow at 2pm and I'm going through so many emotions...excitement, fear...and HUNGER!! Seems like I'm the first of our bunch. I check in at noon and surgery is at 2pm. I'll be letting u guys know my status. For any prayer warriors out there, please say a prayer on my behalf for no complications and a speedy recovery. Until next time sleeve sisters...✌????

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
