I hear ya, i was scheduled for my sleeve back in April and the called and canceled my surgery the day before it was suppose to happen.

And rescheduled me for the 28th of June

I was so ready to have it done then..mentally and physically

I was devastated when it happened, and i feel like I’m not as prepared this time
I’m sorry you had to be rescheduled 🙁 but you’ve got this. Nerves are probably getting the best of you because of the long wait you’ve had. I’m sure you’ll be fine the day of 😉

@Lauren26 Hello and welcome! I plan to have RNY bypass and have my last appointment July 16th. I will have some testing but hope to have surgery in August. So, we are on a similar timeline it seems.

Yea that’s what i use to get my Water in a lot

Just not a fan of plain Water

I’m hoping my time stays there or pushes back some i live a little over a hour from the hospital

So it’s gonna be a early drive with morning traffic into Boston

The hospital I’m having surgery at is a less than 10 minute ride away. Gonna get there early and hopefully they will get all of the day of pre-op testing out of the way pretty quickly. I’m so anxious but not in an “I’m so scared/nervous” type of way. More of an “I’m excited and want to get this over with and start my new healthy life” type of way

On the topic of water...

I love Water, but even I get sick of it. Someone on this board turned me on the Powerade Zero and O M G it is so good! It tastes just like kool-aid to me. My favorite flavors are Grape and fruit Punch. (There is quite the lively debate somewhere on this board about the Grape flavor!)

I hate grape everything but I used to drink fruit punch Gatorade when I was sick, lol. I can drink plain ice Water any time. I am thinking about buying the Bariatric Fusion pink lemonade drinkable Vitamin packs. It was delicious and 2 packs a day covers your vitamin needs. My surgeon’s office gave me a sample of the pink lemonade and the mixed berry. Didn’t care for the mixed berry though

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
