Eek! One month from today sassyfrass! I'm so excited for you.

I got a call from my navigator Friday letting me know everything was in order and that all my paperwork had been fax'd to the insurance. So now I wait for their answer. I'm counting down the days until I hear. I don't think I should have any problems since I have so many comorbidities along with the 100 lbs. overweight. But, as soon as I know I'll let you know!!

@@Smitty42 the odd and end things are exhausting. It never would have crossed my mind. But luckily it all worked out. It appeared to be something my husband's employer chose though. So hopefully it won't be like that for you!

@@sassyfrass23 I do have a pre-op diet. It is a two week Liquid Protein shake diet. Isn't that what you have too? I hope my date will be around yours. We will see once the nurse calls me. Hopefully I'll hear from her and schedule surgery by this coming Friday! Hubby is excited and scared for me too. He is just praying that this will help all my health issues. He will be my biggest supporter, and trust me when I tell you, he watches my eating like a hawk! Can't get away with anything with him around! hhahahaha

That's exactly how my husband is! His mom had RNY 10 years ago. So luckily this isn't his first rodeo. He is my biggest cheerleader and I'm grateful for that...especially after seeing so many sad post on here where people don't have supportive family or significant others. :(

Hey!! I had my surgery on 03.29.16. So just a little over 2 weeks out. I'm feeling great. The first few days were a bit rough from the pain, but around day 5, things really improved. I went back to work a week and 2 days later and have been able to manage. I just come home a little more tired than usual. But I expect that to improve around week 6.

So far, including the pre op diet, I've lost a total of 28 lbs! 18 on the diet and 10 post op.

So far so good and so so grateful I have embarked in this journey!

        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
