@@edie091371 do you mind me adding you as well?

@@BayGal you are having surgery the same day I am as well. Where are you having surgery if you don't mind me asking?

@@Laughingmyassoff2015 where are you are having surgery?

I couldn't get my gall bladder sonogram done until the 22nd of September. With my pre-op appointment on the 23rd I was worried because it takes them 3 days to read it and the paperwork said I had to have everything complete and results into the doctor before the pre-op appointment. The first lady that answered the phone said yep that is correct. The second lady I talked to said it would be ok as long as there is nothing on the sonogram. Ugh I hate when you don't know it will take a while to get things scheduled! If I had known I would have scheduled it earlier. I waited because it needs to be done within 30 days. But my doctors office, where they do sonograms don't have tables that can handle 390 pounds! They only go up to 350 pounds. So I had to go to the hospital to get mine. Well after my surgery that won't be a problem any longer :)

How is everyone doing?

So on the 6th we have three surgeries going. We have one in Arizona (eubanks2013), Missouri (thinner-me), and Virginia (me). Hmm it would be interesting if someone could figure out where all the October surgeries will be.

      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
