Good luck everyone! My surgery is also tomorrow but I don't have to be at the hospital until 11:30. Just enjoyed a crystal light pineapple coconut Water (virgin pina colada). I'm not nervous - this will be my new beginning

Mine is tomorrow, as well. Have been trying not to panic for most of the day. I keep telling myself that everything will be ok and that I'm on my way to feeling better.

Good luck to everyone with a surgery date tomorrow! Let's check back in with each other when we can!

Well, surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 8 am and I am starting to freak out! I am so nervous for the surgery itself and how horrible I'm going to feel afterwards. I keep telling myself I made this decision awhile ago and want to get healthy. I'm just so nervous and anxious. Any words of wisdom out there?! Prayers would be so appreciated

Wow - so many of you having surgery tomorrow - good luck to you all!

I am awaiting insurance approval, and I am already scared and nervous because I know I am a big baby, but I will tell you what a dear friend told me that had the surgery: It will be tough in the beginning, but what is [insert time period here] in comparison to the rest of your life?!

At one of my pre-op meetings, the office coordinator suggesting writing a letter to yourself. I scoffed at the idea at first, but I do see genuine value in it. They said A LOT of people, regardless of how successful you might be post-op have some regret at some point - maybe even to think 'Did I NEED surgery? Could I have done this on my own?' So the suggestion was to write yourself a letter (mine is more so a list of bullet points) of WHY you want the surgery, how you feel, how did you come to this conclusion, etc. I think it will be easy to forgot just how hard certain aspects of our lives are overweight once we are on the other side. Maybe this will help some of you to make the minutes tick by a little faster and give you something to look back on in a year!

My surgery date is set for tomorrow 10/27/16 at 7:00 a.m. I'm very nervous as well, but trying to not think about it. I have anxiety disorder/panic attacks, and have had them for over 10 years now.

The first 3 days were hard for me but then I turned a corner, didn't look back and enjoyed each phase. I am 6 weeks out down 31 lbs and doing great. Enjoy the ride and don't rush through each phase of this journey. Just sip your Water and start your Protein when told and walk, walk, walk. Good luck and prayers for all of you.

I had the surgery on 10/26. The surgery went well. Not gonna lie, the first day was a little rough. I'm home now and feeling better. Only issues I'm having is with nausea. I'm just trying to make sure I don't get dehydrated. Thank you all again for your prayers and well wishes. They are much appreciated

      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.
