May 1st!

Having gastric sleeve. Dr. said 1 to 2 nights in hospital. I laughed and said I'm usually a 2 nighter! But, we shall see! 20 more days! Whoop whoop!

Yes! I feel you on that. My hubby also says dumb things like he doesn't want my body to be mismatched or for me to have a big head. I told him that losing this weight and gaining confidence is more important to me than anything. I have also been big for most of my life. I have a countdown on my dry erase board here at work, 34 days till surgery!

Do not let anyone or anything distract you! This is for you, and unfortunately some people either don't get it or are just insecure of the amazing transformation that's about to happen. Do not change your mind or opinion about this. What you are about to do is transform your life to a healthy life. You will feel amazing! You will look amazing! You will be able to do all the things you weren't able to do before! Its SO worth it! Trust in your surgeon that you are in great hands. They have done thousands of these procedures and can do them with their eyes 👀 closed. Hope I am not being too forceful here but I've seen what this surgery has done for my sister who was hopeless a year ago and 2 of my friends who had it done recently. Keep your head up high, stay focused and let others know that their anxiety is not needed right now. Best of luck to you all! My surgery is May 2nd and I couldn't possible be any more excited. 🙌🏻

I've heard it all. "You shouldn't get the surgery," "You don't need it, you're not that big," "You should try this diet," etc...

what happens if I come to my day of surgery and they weigh me and I am just under the weight that qualifies me for the surgery will they deny me the surgery. The reason I ask is because I am right on the edge of qualifying so I have to weigh myself daily and make sure I am eating enough to stay in the qualifying range. I get sleeved May 9.

I worry about being slightly over my goal

Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Same here. I gained back a few pounds after meeting a goal weight. My surgeon said not to worry about it and that I'd definitely lose it during the 10 day cleanse diet.

        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
