Hi there, I'm having the sleeve also on March 6th, just a few days before you! I'm trying to get preparations underway at the moment, getting anything I need for the pre op diet sorted out, but I'm not starting that until 18th February.

I'm scheduled for Sleeve on March 12th, going to start prepping everything February 23rd - buying my stuff for the pre-op and liquid diet on that date and then staying on pre-op for 2 weeks before my surgery on March 12th.

Hi I’m also waiting for date but they said first two weeks of March. I’ve actually started working out and smoothie, not carbs diet already. I want to get used to eating healthier ! I feel good already

When I spoke to my dietician about potentially doing the pre op diet for more that the 2 weeks so I could make the best preparation possible, she closed me down fairly quickly and said not to do that as most people could only reliably stay on it for the 2 weeks. If I have tried to do it for longer, I might have put myself at risk of "falling off the wagon" in the week prior to surgery.

I'm in a space now where I'm just hanging around, not being too aggressive on the diet, just trying to stay away from junk food.< br>

      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. 🤞
