So, today was my consultation with my surgeon. I was so nervous because I was supposed to lose 25 pounds and I've only lost 22. BUT everything went well. We discussed which surgery was right for me and he agreed with me when I said I wanted bypass surgery. I'm a sugar freak and he agreed that the bypass was the better choice. He explained a few things I already knew, I asked all the questions I needed to ask. My number one concern was... When can I go to Disneyland? Lol. He said right after but please please please remember to drink drink drink or you'll end up in the hospital the next day for dehydration.

Anyway, my surgery date is May 24, but I am on the cancellation list. Who knows maybe I can get surgery earlier. It's finally real to me. It's finally happening and I am so excited.

Just wanted to express my happiness.

Yes! So even with the delay I had, I got my date for 7 weeks after I graduated. I think you'll have a good chance getting your surgery by August 1

Ohhhh yes... I was on a 12 week supervised diet plan. They weighed me every week. I had to eat 1200-1400 calories a day. Lately, I've been having the same as you're doing now. 2 shakes and a meal to make weight for my consultation. And yes I agree about the head aches. I get so moody. I really hope the head aches aren't this bad after surgery since we won't be eating a lot. I will be doing the 2 shakes and one meal up until surgery.

Are you having an pre-op education appointment too? Mine is Tuesday

I wrote down all my questions in my phone so I wouldn't forget anything. Also, I recorded my whole appointment because I didn't want to forget anything he said. I have heard it twice and there are a few things i didn't remember him saying.. Lol.. Maybe I was too nervous. But still... It's so exciting at the same time.

I hope your appointment goes great!

      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.
