Backed out last minute, but I'm back again...

Good luck. There's nothing scary about having your stomach removed, once surgery is over you won't even know it's gone until you realize you can only eat smaller normal size portions. It will be the best thing you could do for yourself. You're probably stressed and anxious now, all of that will pass. You'll be just fine. Good luck to you and your success!!

Well I have a surgery date of 2/27/17 but I just had an irregular EKG where Im having an abnormal heart beat. I havent noticed it at all, but they say its there. So I have to see a cardiologist on Monday. I hope this is not another hurdle I have to jump on my journey to try and be healthy...

Greetings from Asbury! just read through this thread, your story sounds a lot like mine. I backed out on my original date too (from home, not in he operating room, lol) but am back on track and scheduled for this Tuesday. I'm sure you'll be fine at the cardio- I had a similar issue but the doc said it was fine and the surgery would be the best thing I can do for my heart.

I will be waiting to here how things go Jersey. Please keep us posted. 1 year this month I had the sleeve done. I've lost 100 lbs passed my goal and feel better then I have in years. Jogging every day 4 miles, drink Water, eat Protein and fresh veggies, take my Vitamins and knowing I will keep it off. Feeling healthy is the BEST part, and feeling in control. Got rid of all fat clothes because a healthy ME is my top priority now. Good Luck I pray all works out for you and you can start this amazing journey.
Your Oklahoma support pal!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
