TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY!



Recommended Posts

So tomorrow is surgery day and the start of my new beginning. [emoji1] I am so so so nervous but I know that it is going to be so worth it in the end. [emoji7] I am happy to be doing this not only for myself and my health but for my child. Idk I am scared, nervous, anxious, excited, happy, just so many emotions mixed in one. Goodluck to anyone whose date is tomorrow also. I wish you the best!

Good luck! Walk the halls as much as you're able, it will help you start getting rid of the gas and feeling a lot better.

Congratulations. I'm so excited for you and a little envious. Lol

I hope you continue to post about your journey. I'm hoping to have my sleeve done first part of December. Hope your recovery is a smooth one. Best wishes for you.

My surgery goal weight is 227. My scale reads 224.2. I had to track my food and exercise. Have done that since Sept 1.

Thursday 11/4 I have a phone call consult with the NUT. She needs to clear me for surgery. Fingers crossed.

I have a phone consult with psychologist on 11/17. She asked me to attend a Mindful Eating class for 5 weeks and no change to my depression or anxiety meds. My last class is the 16th. No change in meds.

So I'm really hoping to be cleared for surgery on the 17th.

My surgeon said surgery is usually 1-2 weeks after clearance.

If all goes according to plan (knock on wood) I should have surgery around 12/1.

Which is not really all that much time from starting to surgery. 3 months.

Hope you are doing well.

      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
