I get my endoscopy tomorrow and I'm so nervous! I think the closer my surgery date everything is sinking in: THIS IS HAPPENING! Checked in with my insurance (Cigna) today and it's still pending. It was submitted 10/17 so it's only been 4 business days. Going to follow up on Friday. Can anyone send some kind words for tomorrow? Getting weirdly emotional towards the end of the pre-op journey [emoji85]

Endoscopy is a breeze!! You will not remember anything at all. When you wake up you will have a little sore throat. That's all. I am a week out from surgery and on liquid diet.... this has been a challenge but you just keep the goal in mind and you can do this....all of this. Good luck to you!

@CamillaCalliethe diet suck point blank. I kind of like the chocolate shakes so that's what I drink all day. Maybe I will add a popsicle. I can't wait until this is over.

I started my pre-op VLCD a couple days early, just cause I have a lot of weight to lose and really need to shrink my liver down for surgery. Went with option 1 (see pic) and, jeez, I gotta say this is a pretty expensive diet. shakes are so expensive!

I drink four a day (two SlimFast and two Premier), plus one cup of Jello and one small dinner of 3 oz of meat with 1 cup of veggies. I like having my meals basically planned for me, so I'm finding this to be mostly pretty easy. I still dream of pizza and cheeseburgers lol but I've made peace with the fact that I've eaten more than enough junk for ten lifetimes and don't need it anymore.

@bogglesaucei wish I could my choice on what I can have for my diet, but my Dr office provide all my meals that I can have for two weeks and I only can have what they give me besides Jello and popsicles.

      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.
