My approval came in today and I am scheduled for June 21st with pre-op diet starting almost three weeks before. Apparently, when you're near 50 BMI, my surgeon likes to have an extended pre-op. Yay!

I feel like I should be nervous about having such a major surgery, but I guess it doesn't quite feel real yet.

My date is June 21st too!! I start my pre-op liquid diet next Tuesday, the 7th.

Yay, Junesleevers!

I got my date today: June 22, even sooner than I hoped. (My first appt was only May 18.). And my surgeon said I don't have to do ANY liver diet, because I've been eating high Protein (and losing weight) so she says my "liver has shrunk enough." Hallelujah!

I started my three week pre-op diet today, which consists of 2 Protein Shakes and then for dinner I can have 4-6 oz of some sort of meat, 1/2 cup of starch, and unlimited greens. Very hungry right now and I've got another 20 days to go. Yikes!

What is pre-op testing? The endoscopy?

My preop testing is blood work, chest X-ray and EKG. I go tomorrow for that. I also have to pre-register at the hospital. Surgery is June 9.

Instead of endoscopy... I'm having an upper GI X-ray series with contrast ...

I all had that, plus a pulmomary clearance and a Upper GI. I'm really impressed with all the testing and technology involved in this pre-op stage. The Upper GI was really cool and I have the monitors in from of me so I was able to see all "my insides" while I was drinking the contrast

      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.
