Surgery twin! Just got my official approval today from insurance and surgery is 11/6 also. I start my pre op liquid diet on Tuesday and pre op testing at the hospital on Thursday. How about you?

Same here originally I thought my date was 11/6 but it’s confirmed for 11/19. I’m excited and yes nervous also. I hope surgery goes well and not to much pain afterward.

My surgery is 11/8. I just started the pre-op diet today. I'm excited and anxious at the same time and I'm hoping that these next few weeks go by fast.

Day 4 on my pre-op diet. I'm mostly hoping I can sleep through it! I'm very low energy. My dr. Allows me one smart meal a day, consisting of 3 oz. Protein and 2 cups greens. 3 of my favorite things that help me feel full are Jello, broth and most importantly crystal light. I use the generic Walmart brand that you just squeeze into your water bottle. Lemonade and grape are the best. Anyone have any other tips or favorites during this tough time?

It's going ok. I figured out a good time to eat so I don't have hunger pangs. Yes!!! My surgery is in 4 days! Oh my gosh! Just counting down the hours!

Tomorrow I will be one week post op. The first 3 days i was in hospital, it was only going to be one night but I had alot of complications and ended up in there for 3 nights. The gas pain is crazy! My stomach is very bloated and it's difficult to burp, walking alot does help but it doesn't make it all better 😁. I am on full liquids for 2 weeks and staying hydrated seems to be pretty easy because I feel thirsty every minute of the day. Protein isn't as easy. But every time I swallow, I feel pain/pressure. Hmmf . I just keep going, I know it will get better and better. 😛

      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. 🤞
