I understand! Surgery is scary! I pray for peace and try to deep breathe when the stress hits me.

My scheduler told me to expect late June or early july , and include still up in the air about what surgery I’m going to have bypass or sleeve I have until next week to decide 🤪 . It’s getting real, by the way I’m in San Diego

I am hoping to get a date in July in the next week or so. All of my paperwork is done, I have lost my required 15 pounds, I am a teacher so I hope to have surgery and recover, and at least have a good start getting into a good routine before school starts again.

Hi Coco! I’m booked in for 24th July for my lapband! Would love to chat to you and anyone else booked for July! Have you all started your pre op diets yet? I started mine today. Feeling hungry and tired. How is everyone else feeling?

I have been dieting for a few months. I am 30 pounds down. My surgeon does not require a liquid diet before surgery, we just have to stick to a 1400 calorie plan. It’s been pretty easy to do. All of my pre-op stuff is next week. I am excited.

Remember to change things up a little with your Water , Try Propel or Nestle Splash flavors, they are no calorie. Try herbal tea. Hate room temprature water, I do, Try it chilled instead. Drop a few m8nt leaves in, Try Mio or Crystal flavorings. One of my friends drinks sugar free Jello while it's still liquid, stranger than me. And remember sometimes when you think you are hungry, you may be thirsty instead.

      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.
