My date is 21st July and my friend is with the same surgeon in Adelaide on the 20th. I am on the low end 36 BMI but suggested 2-4 weeks 2 x Optifast and chicken or fish and veggies (no potatoes, sweet potato. Going to give the four weeks my best shot as means I will be closer to a new me.

Have only told my partner and my friend. My family kinda judged my cousin who had it done 12 months ago and while I expect their view might change for me I am not going to take that chance. I want only supporters around me.

I am still a month away and can't wait.

@@podg25 I'm only 35 BMI then I was loosing weight by change of food habits because I didn't know if I was gonna get approved but yes I did so I had lost weight. I'm trying to eat now to gain a few before I do the liquid diet I don't know if I'll do the two weeks because I'm not at the BMI I was and don't want to be too small, just my crazy thinking that they'll think I'm too small but I have other qualifications like hbp, sleep apnea,etc. I'm just lost here

I have a couple of other conditions too, I hold my weight all over and am a short arse, only 5ft1 so. I am a little nervous too if I loose too much, but weight loss is usually slow for me so would be a miracle if I lost that much that quickly.

I'm July 20 IF all of my tests are good. I have appointments for everything. Had a little problem with the sleep study being scheduled for 7/26 but they had a cancellation so I'm having that done next week. Now my issue is the pulmonologist can't see me till 7/23 to get my results. I'm hoping I can get the clearance without having him go over the results with me. I also have to do Optifast for 2 weeks. I see the surgeon again on 6/28 so they'll probably tell me then what the diet consists of. I'm excited about this surgery. I've never been able to lose weight on my own. The most I ever lost was 27lbs. I'm 5'5, 257 with no health issues so my bmi alone qualifies me for the surgery.

        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
