My 6 months pre-op starts tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I have a full day scheduled tomorrow at the Beaumont Weight Control Center in SCS Michigan! I see the Weight Control physician, the NUT, the Exercise Physiologist, and the Phycologist. This is my first of 6 month appointments, putting me at my surgery date in late February, early March! I'm so very excited to learn all I can about this awesome second chance at life I am getting. A small part of me wishes I didn't have to go thru the 6 month insurance required treatment but the biggest part of me is so happy and excited to learn how to live with the sleeve and all the new journeys that await me.

I'd LOVE a buddy who is on the same timeline as I am or anyone that would share their journey. Wish me luck!

Time will go by faster once you're actively involved in the process. It'll fly by before you know it. Congrats!

Hi! I've been going through Beaumont, too (Troy). My surgery is Dec14 at RO. The six months seems so long, but you will learn so much and really make some great changes that will help you succeed in the long run! So happy for us all!!!

All went great today! They even got the cardiac clearance from my cardiologist (I have Hypertrophic Cardio Myopathy). I am overwhelmed with all nutritional info they gave me. It will be a busy weekend for me reading up on everything. 1 month visit down, 5 more months to go! I'm so excited for this journey!

I am in my 5th month. Now we are just waiting for approval from the insurance and my surgery date. The waiting is what's nerve wracking.

        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
