I finally have my surgery date



Recommended Posts

Hi Peeps,

I finally have my surgery date.

It seems like these six months have taken soooooo long.

I am scheduled for 08-31-17

I have to do the liver shrink diet for 3 weeks instead of the standard two weeks.

I am so excited and nervous and cannot wait to be in the post op stages.

Seeing my wife's rapid weight loss is making me more anxious to get it done.

She is only 5 weeks out and is shedding pounds like crazy.

Fantastic news Walter! I was actually thinking about you today and wondering how you were doing. Luckily you'll have in built-in support with your wife going through it with you too.

I also did a three-week pre-op diet and lost more weight on that than I did after the surgery! But the pounds keep coming off so I'm not complaining.

I am scared that my liver won't shrink enough and my surgeon will get in there and have to abort the procedure.
He said the chances of that happening are extremely rare, but I am still worried.
I am stressed something is going to come up to prevent me from getting the surgery.
I am so tired of being in constant pain.
I am tired of struggling to put my shoes on.
I am tired of my lower back hurting constantly.
Not only that, my wife's weight loss is making her incredibly horny and she wants to jam all the time.
My health is so bad, I can only go like once a week.

I'd ask how she's feeling but I'm gonna guess pretty good lol

Remember how scared I was? It was a waste of energy! I feel great now.

We're all rooting for you! Get all healthy so you can feel as good as your honey!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
