That's what it's supposed to be but my date got switched and I technically only did about 4 days. I asked my Dr and he assured me I would be fine. Thank God my surgery came and went and I have not had any problems. I am 17 days post op.

Trust me i was super nervous but thank God I have an amazing fiance and support system. I personally prayed alot but everyone has there own way of calming down. The actual day of my surgery I just did my best to relax and I was quiet most of the morning and just took alot of deep breaths. Not gonna lie I cried a bit before going into the operating room but the nurses and Dr were amazing with me. Another fun fact I had never had surgery so I felt extra scared but thank God everything came out great.

In 2015, I had my gallbladder remove and for that surgery I was not nervous at all!!!!!
But for the sleeve, I am so nervous! Extremely excited because I know is the best for me, but my best friend (like sister) she is doesn’t want me to do it, and always tell me about something wrong with the anesthesia, or bacterias.... and she try to scare me about the surgery.

My best advice for that is just don't listen to the negative. I will be honest I did not tell to many people because I did not want negative comments or anyone to talk me out of this amazing change in my life. The few people I did tell were amazingly supportive. Just keep thinking of your health and all the amazing things you will be able to do after. Like I said I am only 17 day post op but I don't regret what I did i know my health is the most important thing.

Another thing people sometimes make you think twice because they are scared and don't understand the whole process. The more information they get the easier it will be for them to be supportive.

I told my mother, brother and my fiancé. I told my friend when I started the process, but she doesn’t know that I will have my surgery, because she was so negative so I told her that I will not do it... am afraid of her reaction after the surgery

If she is your real friend she will be fine with it. Don't focus on her focus on yourself and on the people who are supportive. Above all you are what is important it sounds selfish I know but sometimes it has to be like that especially if its something so positive for you.

If its for your well being than you do what you have to, when i told my people how it will benefit my health they jumped on board. Im still waiting for my consult meeting where my doc will explain the different wls

Ok so... I went today for the last appointment before my surgery...
My pre-op diet will be one week before the surgery low carbs.
1 day before surgery liquid diet... but I hear the liquid diet is supposed to be 1 or 2 weeks before surg, so why is different with me?

I only had to do 1 day of liquids before as well. 1 week would have been torture for me back than lol You'll find a lot of doctors do things differently so don't get to concerned about it. And that goes for the post op diet.

      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.
