December Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

don't be nervous, it is a GOOD thing you (WE) are doing. We have had lots of success so far in December, no reason to think it will change! Just think of what next year will hold for us?

Ok I am one day post op. I am having killer shoulder pain but other than that doing ok. It's funny I am hungrier now than I was on the two week liquid diet. I actually got to that dieter's high that I had not felt in years. My dieters high is when I am not particulary interested in food and have tons of energy and willpower. During this phase I asked myself if I even needed the band. But I know that does not last and that is when I will need the band! But I am down 14 pounds and am determined to keep going. I look forward to succeeding on the journey! Can't wait to start exercising.:whoo:

Hi there! I have been reading for some time now, but haven't posted much. My surgery date is TOMORROW!!! (Dec. 19th). I am nervous and excited, worried the surgery won't work and sure it will ....all at the same time! I am making myself a little crazy here.:)

Well, wish me luck. I'll be post-band tomorrow...YEAH! :whoo:

I love this - having a December 07 forum.

We are in such close stages. Some just banded, and others on preop diets. This is great.

Terrified!!!!!!!- My Surgery is Thursday the 20th and I am scared!!! Reading this has been very helpful though :confused: I have been on straight liquids (no milk) for two weeks with the past couple days super Clear Liquids (no Tomato or Orange juice).. I miss chewing!!! I was told to not even have gum! And I had to take a laxative today to completely clear me out ( that was fun to do at work). Tomorrow is a bunch of antibiotics and Thursday nothing at all- I cannot have anything to drink even post op until Friday morning. They do an xray Fri AM to make sure everything is OK before they let me drink. Sounds like my doc is super strict from what I have been reading but I think I like it that way :(

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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
