Surgery Date January 13th.



Recommended Posts

Congratulations to you! In the beginning, I was so happy to have that surgery date. The liquids have been difficult for me and I almost gave up. I'm happy to be moving forward with surgery on Wednesday.

Hi all my 13th partners. I just found out I don't need to be at the hospital till 11. I was originally told I should be first, and now I'm the 3rd. I had my mind set that I would be in there early and I won't have to wait around. Not to mention I can't even have anthing to drink. I am just so nervous and I have been getting so upset and crying to my husband. I just hope that they will be able to give me something when I first get there to calm me down. I'm such a BABY ..

I've been secretly crying. I think I'm driving my guy crazy. So I try not to talk to him about it anymore. Oh well, I have you all who are sharing the feelings and emotions with me. At least, someone understands.

I definitely understand that. My husband has no idea of all the emotions and nerves that come with this.

You'll be fine, don't worry! I was scared to death on the days leading up to my surgery, but it couldn't have gone any better. You will be surprised afterwards, how little pain you had when you woke up! Best wishes for you tomorrow!

        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
