Anyone else set for 4/20 or there abouts?



Recommended Posts

I start my pre op on the 9th for surgery on 12th. Starting today, 2 weeks pre op I can only take Tylenol as pain med. my doctor recommends that I try to stay away from solid food as much as I can but I don't think I'll be able to.

I am hoping for April ! My first appointment is Tuesday; and will do 4 weeks of classes. I am in Fort Wayne IN. Where is everyone else having their surgery? I think I have to do 4 weeks of the Optifast drinks before surgery. Anyone else?

I'm set for April 25, 2016. First doctor visit was 07/15/2015 so it has been a long process. Start my liquid diet on April 11. Insurance is covering it, but with a $3200 deductible, it is still going to be difficult. I think insurance companies need to lower their requirements and speed up the process. If it weren't for my stubborn determination, I would have given up. I can't wait!

I'm set for 4/13 ...no time yet. Started my program in May 2015 so it's been a long process. The nice part is that there is no pre op diet per say. Only Clear liquids the day before. Even I can do that. . . Jello counts.

I'm April 13 as well, with only one day of clear liquid. I'm relived because I've heard so many that have had to go two weeks with clear liquids before surgery. Let me know how your surgery goes.

You've got it @Billsmafia. I'm freaking out a bit but surely I can manage. Where are you having surgery? I'm in Massachusetts.

It's interesting to me the different requirements among surgeons. My pre op diet is a lot less strict than some I have heard. They said I just need to stick to 1000 calories per day.

In Huntsville (North Alabama). I'm not nervous at all, but my wife, on the other hand, is freaking out a bit. Where is yours happening?

I'm headed to Worcester Massachusetts. I've debated for quite a while. I know we'll all be good.

        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
