Hello, my surgery date is on April 22nd and i have been waiting for this day since last summer. I live in NJ but my surgery is at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. I am currently on a two week liquid and raw veggie diet. The days are speeding by fast. I have no idea what I am getting myself into. I have done my research and have read the forums and prayed from time to time but reading is different from actually having the surgery and experiencing post op and beyond. This is going to be a new journey for real. I pray that I stick with what I need to do to succeed. I am very thankful to the"Bariatric Pal" app. Is there any other person having the surgery on the same day and/ or at the same hospital?

Hi I'm also april 22nd but in PA. I'm on my 2 week pre op diet too! I'm nervous but just really excited for this change. How are you doing on your preop diet?

I'm struggling with the diet but following the dr's order. I have lost 7lbs so far, which is rare for me. I can't believe I'm having this surgery.

Hello All! Surgery Date April 26th! I’m sooo excited and nervous lol. So, I can totally relate. (First day of pre-op diet [emoji51][emoji31])
I am excited and nervous also. I need this surgery though. I understand that it's a tool. I must stay focused.

I need it too. Although I am slightly nervous, I have worked really hard to get here. So, with that being said, I didn’t come this far just to remain this far. Totally focused and committed! No turning back, just better days ahead. We can do this!

Unfortunately I did not lose much weight prior. One day, I would lose 2 lbs and then gain 1 lb.

Since Jan I lost 19lbs but it was a real struggle! My goal during preop diet was originally to lose 10lbs but I'm hoping to lose more now! You're doing great being down 7lbs in 5 days [emoji4]

      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.
