Hi all. I am 9/19/16. Anxious and ready. I am 48 year old and have battled pcos since my mid 20's.

Sw 276

Cw 269 (and not budging)

Goal. To eliminate all diabetes meds and improve my health. And of course want to lose some weight along the way.

My husband is getting sleeved too. He hasn't got his date yet but he is hoping for November.

Still waiting for the final approval from Cigna. But they set my date. Cigna not easy even with the uncontrolled diabetes. High blood pressure. Severe sleep apnea and pcos. First letter of denial because not medically necessity? Crazy! I KNOW it will get approved.

Glad to see some September sleepers out there. Live in and love this site.

would love to have a group of just us to follow in this journey. Convos get lost in the shuffle of these threads. Maybe we can start a private group on Facebook and add one another to it????

A group has been started. It's called sept going down. Look under groups. Lots of ideas and shared stories.

Just got home yesterday from Wednesday surgery; how are you all doing? I think the gas pain was the worst of it! Not much pain today, just a little uncomfortable.

I had my surgery Tuesday and came home Wednesday night. I feel good except pain on left side from the larger incision. My gas pain isn't bad but I still have some. I am doing fairly well on my clear liquid diet and start my Vitamins and full liquid and Protein supplements tomorrow. This is truly not as bad as I had thought. Going to try back to work Monday.

I just got sleeved monday! Everything went well, headed home tuesday. Im on clear dilluted liquid diet, since yesterday ive been more anxious. Last night i dreamed of a hamburger! I need to get my fat me out of my head. The worst part is sleeping comfortably, my large incision it the one giving me more trouble.

Tomorrow I had my first round of Multivitamins and it wasn't fun. I bought ones that are called bari melts! My nausea was so bad i had to go to sleep. Hope tomorrow is better.

You will be fine! The liquid diet is not that bad! At least for me since they let me have yogurts and Soups. Don't get discouraged just think about the . I'm in the stage where i only think what hace i done but everybody tells me its normal.

I saw the group but it says it is for RNY. Is that the only group? Is there a private group for vsg? I hate when my groups show up to other people snooping around my fb. Haha

      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.
