Yay! That's my birthday! They offered me a June 29 surgery date, but I had a last hurrah vacation planned.

Me too! If Honestly if I could do it without ruining a friendship, I'd skip the birthday cruise and take the 6/29 date in a heartbeat. Have you been told anything about the pre-op diet?

Sure! I recommend always following your own surgeon's instructions, but it certainly can't hurt to get more information from other sources and ask questions. I'll have to dig up my information sheets from my surgery, but I did do a YouTube video on my post op diet when I was 3 days post op that I'll post a link to. If you want more detailed information than that, let me know and I'll find my post op paperwork.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery! I'm in Atlanta and know a few people who speak highly of Dr. Malick. I had my surgery in Mexico.

that's great! I know two people who were sleeved by Dr. Macik, nobody has had anything bad to say yet. I recently reconnected with a friend who actually was sleeved in Mexico a month ago so it's really nice to have someone local whose surgery is so close to mine.

      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.
