When I scheduled my surgery back in May, they said I was first on the schedule. I thought they told me I was first on the schedule, but I may be mistaken. I was told that when I get there they will check me right into the hospital. So, I guess that’s a good thing. I’m going alone as well. My husband feels reassured that I will have a cohort to be with in the hospital.

Don’t know about you, but I’m beyond excited right now. I have packed and repacked several times. The weather is supposed to be in the high 70’s low 80’s all week while we are there.

I’m really glad we will be there together.

October 1 here. Getting scared...liquid diet is getting old.........Surgeon chastised me for only losing 19 lbs since April...what??! He said someone of your size should have lost more and is accusing me of cheating. grr.. I'm part of a whole fancy program at a local hospital and they are strict......I'm afraid of blood clots now....., and just 2nd guessing everything. Found out I will have 6 incisions....as opposed to 5..not sure why that's bugging me but it is lol. I think I'm just a nervous nelly....not packing much...iphone and chargers, and my flip flops. figure i'll wear their gowns.... my cough has now subsided and barely there but dr did say he would cancel the surgery if I had a cough....i even went to a fancy Vitamin lounge yesterday and paid for a high dose of Vitamin C. Sorry..just all over the place. I go from being excited and elated to doom and gloom.

I second guess myself every day. I have 29 looooong days to go. You’ll do amazing! Don’t let any negativity sink in (not even doctor comments). 🤗 you got this!

Oh, that makes sense. I booked later than you did and they told me to fly in the same day.
Safe travels, see you soon!

Thank you. I am doing great l only have a little gas up in my shoulders. The surgeon gave me a pain ball so I did not have any pain from the stomach surgery. It comes out tomorrow.

I hope everyone is doing good.

      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
