One week from tomorrow is my day! Today I was thinking what if it doesn't work? What if I can never eat again? What if I wouldn't have it? So much running through my head today. Tomorrow I start my liquid diet. For the last three days I have done liquids with the exception of one small meal. I thought I could ease into the liquid diet and then it won't be terrible. I will do fine!

February 10, Emory, Johns Creek, Ga., IF I get a clean bill of health on February 5th from my ENT.

Seems I had an allergic reaction to something this weekend, and the back of my throat swelled up, sending me to the ER on Saturday night. They did a CT scan, and radiologist believed he saw a mass in my throat. Only problem (actually, a very good problem) is upon physical (scope) inspection yesterday with an ENT that specializes in throat maladies, no mass could be seen. However, there is still some swelling in the throat, and he wants to scope it again on the 5th of February after a seven day regimen of steroids, before he clears me for bariatric surgery. He's pretty confident that there is nothing there, and that what the radiologist saw was the soft-tissue swelling. (BTW, the location where said mass is supposed to be is not a good place to have one.)

I've already had my pre-op meeting with my surgeon and support staff. All that remains is meeting with the gas-passers in anesthesiology, which I can do on Monday the 8th. Cutting it close, but doable.

Please keep good thoughts (prayers) for a positive outcome to this, and I don't mean for the sake of the bariatric surgery. Were it to turn out that there were to be something there, that fact would far outweigh the results of not being able to have my sleeve.

praying doll!!!!!

Micromanage the diet!

I have been doing pre op diet since January 1st but I have learned...stay high Protein , low carb, sugar free and get all your Water in and you will lose !

My doc said he would like me to lose 16 pounds and I did lose 10 but freaked out and gained 7 back. When I got there for the procedure no one cared. I weighed, I was down 3lbs from initial weigh-in and he was fine with that since I hadn't gained.

      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.
