Hello,

Got the call and insurance company has approved my surgery.

I will for sure be getting sleeved one week from today.

Now I am scared out of my mind.

Well, its very normal to be a bit freaked out when that call comes ... it makes it a reality that this can truly happen. But focus on the enormous health benefits this surgery will yield and how much better you will feel with less weight. That is what got me through the 2 weeks pre op, the night before op, and now 3-days post op. It is a challenging and at times scary journey but I believe will be well worth it in the end. Read some of the success stores on this Board. That was able sustain me as well. Good luck to you!

I had to do a three week liver shrink diet.
I am two weeks in and one more week to go.
I am excited, scared, nervous, and all that.
I just want to feel good again.

Im 3 days out too. Not too concerned about my weight at the moment but at the fact that I need to heal properly. The only thing I struggled with is the pain. Had to be re-admitted yesterday and was advised after cat scan all is well then released with a stronger med than Tylenol!!! Also trying to find a system to get all of the liquids and Vitamins in daily!

      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.
