I am so so so happy! I just did my last drs visit yesterday and they submitted my paperwork today and I got an approval. I do not have to do the psych evaluation. O I almost forgot surgery date April 12th.

My surgery date is April 12th, I'm on my 5th day of Optifast. Nothing outside of 5 shakes a day, no caffiene, and tons of Water. I wasn't nervous about having surgery until I had my date and now I am. Plus, I'm having my surgery in another city and I'm going alone because we have a toddler and it is just easier for everyone. I don't know if I'll be more worried for surgery or my Husband juggling work and a 2 year old for a week lol.

@happyhealthymama I'm so JEALOUS. I've got a 6yo and a 3yo. I'd LOVE to go alone to the hospital, but I guarantee they'll all be there half the time. ;) I'm trying to bribe my surgeon for an extra day.

I am also on day 5 of my pre op shake diet how are you feeling about it @@happyhealthymama

It's been hard (tempted to cheat every day lol) but it's been worth it so far. I've lost 7lbs since Monday. The first week is always the hardest and the highest weight loss. How are you doing?

Haha, I didn't think of it that way. I will be using my time away to catch up on over 2 years of sleep

What kind of shakes are you guys using and where did you get them? My surgeon doesn't care what I use as long as I hit my Protein count. I start preop diet on 04/05.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
