I just received my approval and am on the schedule for August 1 @ 12:30. I have to be there by 10:30. I can have Clear liquids until 8:30 that am. Lots of Water to make my IV stick easier.

I go in July 18 for pre-op work...which I assume is just blood work.

I am very excited that is now approved and approaching quickly!!!!

It has seems to have been a long time coming. I started all this at the beginning of the year. I think the liver reduction diet makes me the most nervous.

I'm Aug 1st too, I'm a little nervous but have had my appendix and gallbladder out and my surgeon said the recovery is about the same - after both of those surgeries I felt a little sore but nothing I couldn't handle. I read some scary stories about recovery so I'm just staying positive about my own. I'm a little worried about staying hydrated but figured I'll sip on Water all day. I'm excited about the new me and feeling healthy and happy again and to have more energy.

Any suggestions on a brand of broth that tastes good?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
