Hi!!! My date is Sept 21,2016. As far as your weight fluctuations between doctors visits. The same thing is happening to me! For the most part what I understand is as long as you are showing change in your eating/workout habits you will be fine. This is y we are having the surgery in the first place. It's a tool to add on top of what we have learned pre-op. Best wishes to you I am rooting for you! Stay focused! Stay positive!!

Ugh I have to start my liquid diet today and do it all the way to the 9/8. I dont know why my doctor has his patients on it so long but I'm dreading it! I have to force myself with the Protein Shakes after like the 3rd one.

On a side note, my good friend had the DS surgery on Wednesday and she is recovering well. Its nice to be going through it with someone, and know almost exactly what I am in for (Im having the RNY Bypass).

Hi Melanie, I'm from London aswell and I'm having my surgery on the 15th September. I am extremely excited and very nervous at the same time. I only got my phone call yesterday.

My surgeon is Mr Ramar. At Kings College London. I haven't had to pay either due to health reasons. I start my milk diet on the 1st September.

Where are you having your Op?

Wishing everyone all the best and hope you all get what you wanted from this major Operation and new life change.

      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.
