So my sleep study went too well. Well enough that I don't have sleep apnea. Now I have an apt at the beginning of the new year with the surgeon to see if we can apply to my insurance with the osteoarthritis only. Crossing my fingers so we can. Already paid for the filing of the psych eval plus two consults with the behavior therapist. $190 down.

Are you nervous or excited? At this point I am as excited as a lion with a steak, but I'm sure as the date approaches I'll get more nervous! Happy New Year!

@katladee I love the Pointer Sisters and I am scheduled for Jan 26th also!

So far I am not super nervous because I have to have a heart scan on Jan 4th so that my cardiologist will release me. Because of this I am trying to stay calm, but the time is moving quickly and I get a little more excited each day.

Good luck with your scan! Thank goodness my testing is all done. Tomorrow I finally see the surgeon who will actually be doing the sugery, and he'll give me the dates for the pre-op clear liquid diet. I dread that! I have my pre-surgery bloodwork and chest xray on the 19th.

Hello Everybody! :D

My surgery date is 1/6/2016. I am suffering on Opifast through the holidays right now with my pre-surgery diet. It bloats me, gives me a headache and leaves me pining for the most modest of real foods.

Its been a long road to get here though so not giving up now. It took me longer than the insurance company's mandated six months to get through all the medical clearances. After that, I needed thyroid surgery which pushed me back again. So finally in 2016 it going to happen. New year- new me!

My family knows I'm doing it but not too many others. At this point its kind of a "need to know", basis, lol. I'm going to tell people later though. My aunt had the gastic bypass and she swears it saved her life. She encouraged me to have this surgery and I hope I can be as successful as she has been :)

This is my first post. I am scheduled for Jan. 4th. I'm soooo excited, but I feel like I may be coming down with a cold. I am trying to find the best way to beat it so I don't have to reschedule my surgery! I'm also getting nervous about making sure I do everything the right way after surgery (eating the right things at the right times and taking the supplements when I'm supposed to). I wish all of you the best on your weight loss journey in the new year!!!! :)

        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
