Having my gastric byapass on May 12th



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

My name is Rossella and I am looking for someone that is going to the process of having their surgery around May 12th so that we can support each other. I live in Arlington, VA but location is irrelevant, moral support can be from everywhere. I also just started my pre-op diet yesterday april 28th.

I am excited and scared at the same time...

I am too having my surgery on the 18th. So far I got lucky I don't have to do the pre-op diet. The more and more I think about the upcoming date the scarier it feels.

I am having bypass on May 10th. Today is my 6th day on the pre-op liquid diet and so far it has not been nearly as hard as I thought it would be. I'm really not hungry but have occasional bouts of the munchies - you know, when you wander in the kitchen just looking around for something to eat. When that happens I have a Protein drink and it goes away. I'm getting so excited as the surgery date gets closer! I live in Maryland - not too far from you!

I have mine May 17 and starting preop tomorrow.

Thinking about what a change I am in for from this point on

But looking for it to happen.

I am having my surgery on May 16th... go in tomorrow for my pre-op/diet appointment. I'm not sure exactly what my diet will entail, but I'm thinking liquids only for 10 days... I'm sure I'll be on here whining about this soon! LOL

So exciting, and so surreal... I can't wait, yet, I'm nervous too... I just really hope it all goes well!

I'm having my surgery on 11th May -exactly 1 week today!!! I go from being wildly excited, to being quite panicky ????

I live in Adelaide, Australia. Hopefully we can support each other online. Very interested to hear how you and all the others are coping with things...

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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
