I'll be having surgery in July, not sure of date yet. A little terrified!!! I'm 53 yrs old (live in CA) and think recovery may take longer because I'm over 50 yrs old? I hope I'm wrong. I'm hoping for early July, as the anticipation is rough! Can't wait for it to be here....

Push tosh, I am 72, an ornery spunky redheaded. 72 and I will also have a July date. I will have an RnY at OSU-Wexner Medical Center in Columbus Ohio, no fears whatsoever, all of mine drowned a long time ago in my tears. Now I'm just moving forward , clear eyed , a spring in my step, not easy with 2 knee replacements, and hope in my❤. This is going to be a great wonderous day, indeed it will be my REBIRTHDAY and I hardly can wait!! Recovery may be longer, may be slower but I am a Baby Boomer, we do things with the class our Mamas instilled in us. Our weight,loss can and will be as good as the youngsters. If not, poof, it's still better than dying obese and in pain. I have lived this long and it is my intention to continue . Wanna hang around with me?🌟🚩😝🚩🌟

California girl here! I'm scheduled for July 11th and a little nervous as I'll be doing this on my own and in Mexico. Doing a lot of research beforehand so I know what to expect. Trying to prepare myself mentally for pain, nausea and heartburn. Hoping to make surgery buddies here too.

Good luck and good health to all of us!

Me too. The more you read on what to expect, the better. I've been following and reading several previous patients stories and write down important details and questions I should ask. I think that's important with every surgery.

Mdarnell, Start that diet back. Drink alot of Water to flush out the bad things you ate. I need to get back to lots of water myself. I have to watch what I am eating not to gain weight before surgery. I have NO pre op diet to follow. Its not required

      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.

      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.
