Hi everyone, just here counting the days till July 12th, I had my pre op class last week, and I just go out of my pre op appt with my surgeon. I told him I'm open this weekend, but I guess I'll have to wait till the 12th! Lol the office actually gave me a spirometer to practice breathing and limit my chances of pneumonia, along with some wipes. He told me I need to be on an all liquid diet 24hrs before the surgery and no liquids after midnight. He also ordered a pregnancy test, 5 days before the surgery. Good luck to everyone!!

This thread is a great idea! How would you guys feel about a private July surgery Facebook group? It might make keeping track of things easier




Hi, there's a private fb group already, but anyone can actually look for it and see the actual members! I just clicked on it and was able to see the names and pics and the ppl that have joined. I'm a "secret sleeved" so I dnt necessarily feel comfortable with joining if, since other ppl can't see the post, but they can see my name and pic of the look under the member section

I'm a secret sleever too, so I have not joined the FB group. The group is set to private, but not secret. In a secret group you cannot see the members.

Is that the main group for this? Or a July specific one?
I ended up leaving that group as there were too many negative people!
I'd be down for a secret group too

I messaged the admin to see if it can be changed to secret. I'm a secret sleever too. I doubt anyone I know will be searching out sleeve groups, but it would be nice to have that extra assurance.

I think I've cried more in the last 3 weeks (usually at romantic comedies) then I have in the last 3 years combined haha. I wasn't told to stop my BC, however I take get DepoProvera. Have you emailed to see why? Is it specifically because they are pills?

Depo is fine. You can't stop that as its three monthly lol. I'm on it too. And they didn't say anything. But told me to not take my blood pressure tab the day of surgery.

      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.
