I wish I'd done it sooner. This is my only regret

I honestly believe that where we're at is where we're supposed to be in life.

I'm also in recovery (7 years in May) from drugs and alcohol, so that helps keep my serenity where it needs to be.

So how was the park and how are you doing? Still looking forward to surgery day? I know I am, it's been so long it may almost seem anticlimactic but I still will be filled with joy![emoji12][emoji13][emoji12]

Good morning... she enjoyed the park as much as I did. I begin my pre-op appointments on Wednesday so its beginning to get real. Still battling the sugar demon. How are you?

Sinusitis which has persisted for close to a month. On my 4th antibiotic to try to clear it up. When I blow my nose and I do that fairly frequently, I think that Barbie woman was right--i am rotten inside. Ah but she was the only pile of bovine excrement I've ever,met on Bariatric Pal. Most people on here are beautiful people who are very helpful to everyone. Am I closer to surgery? Not really but the wheels are still turning but not with much speed. I have a 2. hour psych appointment at OSU with their staff psychologist Dr Kramer 10AM-Noon at Martha Morehouse Pavilion in Columbus. My PCP says to just act like my wonderful,self and things will be fine. What if they screw me over like the other program did? How,much sorrow and frustration am I supposed to accept? Since I completed all of the prerequirements from the other program will they accept them all? So many questions So few answers--- what next?[emoji31][emoji13][emoji31]

Wow! My process has been rather fast. I began in November with the nutritionist; had my psych evaluation, endoscopy and now getting the pre-op clearance from my PCP. I pray things go well for you and the sinusitis is cleared up soon.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
