I’m scheduled for January 10th and couldn’t be more ready!!! My surgeon only required a 2 day pre-op diet, but I plan on doing it a couple weeks before surgery. With the exception of a New Years splurge. Tomorrow I have a 4 hour appointment to have a class with a nurse, meet with my nut one last time, and the financial advisor will tell me how much of a dent this will put in my pocket book. I’m so ready to get this done!!! 24 days can’t go by fast enough!!!!

I’m struggling!! My surgery is the 9th, I start the pre diet on 12/26 and I’m really struggling with dieting,, I needed to lose 20 lbs before surgery,, I got to 17 and now I’m back to 13,, I can’t focus on my diet and I’m really worried she will cancel my surgery if I don’t get back up to my 20 lb Mark, HELP!!




I actually gained a lot leading up to finally getting a surgery date. My first weigh in I was 209 and last week I weighed in at 229, so I feel your struggle. With that said though, I started my pre-op liquid diet on Saturday and I am already down 5 pounds. Hoping for a big loss before surgery on 1/2/18 because my NUT literally went nuts when she saw the gain. Hang in there. We’ve got this! Our eye is on the prize!

Anyone scheduled for surgery in January 2018? I'm booked in for the 12th. Would be nice to chat to people in the same stage x

I am also booked for the 12th! How exciting! Although I’m getting the mini rny. My surgeon suggested it because I’m considered “underweight”

My final appointment with the surgeon is Jan 15. I guess I'll get my date then. At my very 1st appointment in October she had estimated late Jan, early Feb for surgery.... So that's still right.

      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. 🤞
