I had my final consult with my surgeon yesterday and he was concerned that my Iron levels were low. He has asked me to have an Iron infusion (sounds very new age lol) before surgery in just over a months time. Anyone else had to do this

I had 4 iron transfusions in July, it brought my levels up from a 7 to 11. I actually have more energy than before.

More than a little anxious. Being a responsible adult and making sure things like my living will and such are up to date, and the impending doom of the 2 week liquid diet soon, have me a little stressed lol. But really, it's only human to be, so it doesn't bother me too much.

I am a little anxious too. I just had my pre op physical today and Tuesday is my pre admission appointment. It is helping to have family here as i really helps pass the time quickly!

I go the day after Labor Day! Hope my surgeon doesn’t party too much. The surgery is at 730 I have to be there at 6. Hoping it’s a one night stay.

Hey everyone, I am nervous! September 10th is coming up fast! But more nervous about the liquid-5 day diet, the gas after the surgery I’ve heard about and how to eat in the following weeks after. I can’t wait for the tool to be my new life. It I am so scared about all the stuff leading up to that and shortly after.

I have heard people mention Gas X melting strips, but I cant find them anywhere even on the company website...

        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!

      Hiο»ΏΒ 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 myο»ΏΒ mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and eο»Ώxcited. 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’mο»Ώgoing 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 healthyΒ food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!ο»ΏSomeone 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.ο»Ώ

        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
