So you already have the sleeve? Are you having a revision to the bypass?

Can I ask why <<nosy!>>

Yes, I already had the sleeve 2 years ago, it was a failed surgery, the doc didn't take out enough of my stomach. I initially lost over 50lbs and went down to 180, however after the initial 6 month loss, I started to get more hungry. I was maintaining my diet but eating more food since my stomach was not a normal sleeve. Therefore, I started gaining it all back. I went back to a different doctor a year and half later, who told me it wasn't done properly the first time. Some luck I have. So now he is doing a revision to the bypass to ensure the weight stays off.

Having had WLS once already, I can assure you there is nothing to be nervous about. You have been waiting countless days, weeks, months, years to be happy and healthy and YOU decided to make this change because you WANT it. Stay positive, and know you CAN do it, and it will be amazing. It will be hard at first, you will think to yourself immediately after coming out of surgery "why did I do this to myself" but after a few days, weeks, etc. the weight will start falling off, you will have more confidence, you will be able to move better, gain strength back and your mood will change. There is a time of depression and sadness, but after that ends, you will feel on top of the world!!!

The time is dragging- I am trying to keep busy. Weight is going down steadily on this milk diet though! If I could keep it up for 6 months maybe I wouldn’t need the surgery!😉

Yes but if you suddenly start mooing or develop small horns, you definitely have enough of the milk diet. Are you,in a Commonwealth country by Chance? It seems like the UK and it's former children have this kind of diet before surgery. Hey if it works, it works!😛

      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.
