Surgery is Monday (6/20). I've been on my Full liquid diet since this past Monday. I'm definitely getting nervous as it gets closers. Surgery will be at 10 am Monday, but I have to be there for Pre-Op stuff at 8:30. Goodluck to all my June Surgery Family! ♡♡

Surgery was Tuesday, 6/7. I went home the next day as everything was going well. Then, back to the hospital for 6 days with a bowel obstruction. After 2 CT scans and some X-rays, surgeon believes it was swelling - maybe exacerbated by small pieces of crushed meds, and I am back home. Still on Clear Liquids, but can have thinned Protein shakes. I am a band (2010) to bypass. The band was removed 3 months ago.

Good news - Lost 14 pounds!

Hi! I also have surgery, RNY, on the 30th at 1130AM. I started diet yesterday as well and was amazed at how much harder it is than I imagined. We must be twins bc Im dealing with Aunt F and this diet at the same time. Im in Atlanta. We should keep in touch and compare notes since we have the same surgery date.

My AF will probably come in the middle of surgery this Wednesday. Having trouble with the pre-op diet. Had a lot going on this week traveling for work. It's not easy doing this when your not at home. I have fallen off the wagon several times this week. I feel absolutely terrible about it. I almost feel like I don't deserve the surgery. Almost!! I cannot wait to get on the other side of this so I can start my new life!!

I have a few friends that have had surgery there through the bariatric and metabolic institute and have had great success... If anyone is ever looking for a great practice, this is it! Everyone in the office is fantastic. My friend is 1 year out and down 110lbs.

My surgery was June 16th. Im still in hospital but going home today. Everything has went well. Just dealing with nausea. I have a drain which I was hoping I wouldn't. My dr recommends I go home with it until my post op visit.

I have only had broth and Jello and both tasted horrible, but sipping my Water. Good luck to everyone :)

      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
