Anesthesia pre op now done too. He reviewed my medical history and told me which meds to take the Morning of surgery. Interestingly enough, he said to stop all Vitamins and supplements as of today. The only supplement I take is an occasional melatonin. Home now with my feet up and a cup of chicken Bone Broth, rereading through all the handouts I received today.

Thanks for the info. After I was approved last week they scheduled me for 3 pre-op appointments. One per week leading up to surgery as follows:

6/7: pre-op testing at the hospital (whatever that is)

6/13: pre-op class with the nurs

6/21: meet again with surgeon

6/27: surgery

My surgery day is the same as you. 6/27.

6/7: A group counseling session

6/9: Pre/op day. Meeting with the surgeon again, NUT to review pre/post op diet and bone density scan

6/13: start two week high Protein liquid diet. I believe I am allowed 4 oz of real Protein, like chicken, yogurt, eggs and unlimited no starchy veggies with 4 Protein shakes a day.

6/27: THE BIG DAY! I am scheduled to arrive at the hospital at 1:15pm which makes me nervous since you can have nothing to drink, not even Water after Midnight!

      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.
