Hope I typed my previous reply in the correct place I'm having my surgery at Tobey hospital in Wareham, MA

Good luck!!! When do you have to start your preop diet? I'm going through the process now hoping for surgery around Feb or March at St. Elizabeths.

Suaniya, thank you! I'm sorry that I can't figure out how to reply with a quote. Where is St. Elizabeth? I'm starting my preop diet 12/29, a week before surgery.

St. Elizabeths is in Brighton, by Boston. I am from the South Shore though, most of my appts in Brockton, but my surgeon does all surgeries at St. Elizabeths.

Hope I'm doing this correctly. I'm actually from Plymouth but the program in Wareham was recommended to me. We should keep in touch.

I had to push mine back from October because of a financing hiccup. I am now scheduled for Jan 24th. I can't believe how fast the time is going!

@@barcelona37 I'm having my surgery at St Elizabeth's in Brighton. My doc doesn't have any specific preop diet but obviously I have to watch what I eat. I'm excited but also extremely nervous and anxious.

How was it? Mines is scheduled on Monday and I have to go under anesthesia

Sorry, I just saw this so I'm sure you've already had it done. But in case others wonder as well... It was so simple. I remember going into the room, answering some questions, and then waking up in recovery. I don't remember falling asleep or anything. And I was only in recovery for a few minutes. Maybe 15. My biggest concern when I have surgeries is being put under anesthesia as well. But one of my friends has been a nurse for almost 20 years, and she said the only complications she has ever seen or personally heard of is nausea. This helped ease my concerns a lot!

      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.
