You guys I’m sooo excited! For so so long I’ve been thinking of doing this, reading this board, watching Weightloss shows and YouTube videos and finally I’m here posting my surgery date. With my luck I’m probably only dreaming and I’ll wake up at 7 am which is what my alarm is set to this is so surreal. I was so afraid of having to wait weeks and weeks and having this big build up to surgery day. I start my liquid diet tomorrow and honestly I do not feel like I needed more time to stuff my face although I will go out to dinner later and have a juicy steak and a few drinks. I’m so excited and ready for this. I have to add that my surgeon did something I didn’t like- he tried putting doubt into my decision to go with a bypass and really challenged me as to why I want it and why I don’t want the sleeve. Doc because I don’t want the slightest possibility of GERD and because I would like to lose the most amount of weight in the shortest amount of time and have higher odds of keeping it off without requiring a DS. I feel that this is my one and only shot at getting a grip on my life and my health and I can’t afford (nor will insurance) Image1525122505.855240.jpgto gradually go from procedure A to B if needed when I can cut the crap and get to business. I didn’t say that but I was thinking it. Okay enough rambling.

Starting weight 295lbs

Current weight 305lbs

Goal weight 140lbs

Good for you! This is your body, your choice to which surgery you wish to have. I’m behind you a week. My gastric bypass is on May 21st.

Congrats! Soon We’ll be on the other side. And yes you’re 100% correct. It’s so crazy because just now I was making a video for myself. I wanted to talk about how today was my 2 weeks before surgery and how different I will look soon. I made sure my whole body came out and that I said bye to the fat me. While watching the video I felt mortified. I try not to look into mirrors and I don’t take pictures because it’s hard for me to see myself at this weight. So playing back the video and seeing just how big I am definitely was a shocker and reassured me of my decision. To think we see the number on the scale but we refused to see ourselves carrying that weight. I can honestly say I don’t feel as big as I looked in the clip but that’s me that’s how big I am. Deff made the right decision.

Congrats! I know it's exciting as I just got my surgery date too, mine will be on May 29th. I'm glad that you advocated for yourself and are going straight to bypass. Your doc should be there to guide you, not coerce you into doing something you don't want to do. Way to stay the course! :1310_thumbsup_tone1:

Btw guys, I did go out and have that steak I mentioned earlier but it wasn’t as orgasmic as I thought it would be. Figg since it’s my last meal before the liquid diet and all that it would mean much more to me but it didn’t. I honestly just want to wake up tomorrow morn and start my liquid diet and embark on this journey.

        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.

      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
