I finally got my date for surgery!!!! So happy and nervous at the same time. Anyone else being sleeved on April 24th? I can't believe I only have two month left!

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm being sleeved on April 24th too. Insurance took a matter of only a few hours to approve my surgery and that was on February 24th. I have my final blood work/physical with the nurse practitioner, appointment with the anesthesiologist, and 3 hour pre-op class all on April 17th, a week before. I am so happy. I've been on my low carb diet for almost two weeks now. They require a low carb diet two weeks before surgery, but I started two weeks ago, just to get a good 7-8 weeks head start.

Yay for us!! April is a beautiful month, more ways than one now. It's our new birthday :780_sparkling_heart:

I think it's normal to be nervous. Even though I'm excited as hell, I'm getting increasingly nervous as my date approaches. But the good news is, from what I've been reading, is that they give you something to relax you before even wheeling down to the OR. So that's something to look forward to!

I got the phone call today after being denied 2 months ago because my A1c was 9.8! The doctor said he would approve me if I got it down to a 8. And here I am 2 months later , 20 pounds lost and lowered my A1c to 7.9 lol. I got to work on it.

I am now scheduled for April 17th, pre op testing April 5th. Will be on a 10 day liquid diet I hope I make it lol. After 6 long months of test and dr appointment this is finally happening! I am excited, super scared and nervous. Good luck to everyone!

        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
