March 1st Scheduled



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone :)

Newbie here. Been pushing for WLS for over 2 years and just got my surgery date yesterday! March 14th! I am so excited. Been overweight my whole life, and I'm so looking forward to positive change. Especially since my health problems have steadily been stacking up over the last few years.

I wanted mine to be on St Patrick's day (March 17th) but it won't be possible. It will be March 22, which is good too.

Can't wait!

I'm scheduled for March 9 th. Start my ten day pre-op liquid diet on Saturday & I'm ready. I have good support because my brother-in-law is two years post and my sister-in-law 6 months post. I agree with everyone here, excited and nervous. Everyone says that is normal. Glad I found this site.

I originally was scheduled for Jan 26th but couldn't get my cardiologist to sign my release for that day so now I am scheduled for March 1st. I will just be glad to get it over with and start the process. I am not getting any younger. I am a senior at 62 and I want to enjoy some thinner years.

I'm scheduled for March 8th so excited that after 9 long months it's almost here

        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
