I was scheduled for 5/31 but couldn't pass my stress test so now I have have a heart cath and stents and put surgery off for a yr. but the blessing is I found out before I had a heart attack. I had started my 10 -day pre-op diet and now on day 7. As of today I've lost a total of 19# 11# have been in the last 7days. I'm going to do this for 30 days then go to modify my food intake to see if I can loose enough. Hw- 325

RNY Is another term for the gastric bypass. I've not heard of a minisleeve? I'm a bit nervous, but more excited actually. I had a total hysterectomy via laparoscope when I was 34 and I remember the pain from that, so I will use that as a baseline. LOL.
My surgery will be in Temple, TX at Baylor, Scott, and White hospital.
I will be occupied from June 1st until June 19th, so I won't be obsessing about surgery day. My daughters are coming to see me from Upstate New York. I haven't seen them since last summer. So, I'll be busy with them.
I know the day before surgery I'll be nervous and won't sleep. My brain will be in overdrive. LOL. Good luck to you with your surgery and recovery.

I've been researching for 2 years now. I personally know 8 different people who have gone and are having great success. So, in 21 days it's my turn!!
I'm going to Dr. Almanza in Tijuana.

      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.
