@Puffy-no-more I have to order certain products form Protifoods.com and start that 2 weeks prior to surgery. Hope it tastes okay!

Okay that's neat. I'm just doing alot of research to figure out what I'm going to do for post op with the shakes and broths and powders and best brands and all that. There's so much out there.

I’m scheduled for
February 14th! I’m getting the sleeve, but still thinking about RNY. I don’t have much time left
To decide!

On one hand I'm glad I'm not alone with the indecision, on the other I'm sorry it's a hard decision for you too. Good luck with your decision process!

New surgery date for me 2/21. I got a call today saying there was a conflict in scheduling at the facility I'm having surgery done 🤷‍♂️ Kind of annoyed because I have an appointment with my primary doctor later today for clearance that I guess i'll have to reschedule..

Aww I’m so sorry to hear this.

you’re going to hate me for saying this, but there’s probably a reason why things had to be rescheduled. Things tend to happen for a reason (I think). And this could mean anything from something being wrong at the clinic, to something being wrong with the doctor that operating..who knows.

I kind of settled into the idea of it pretty quickly surprisingly, mostly because I haven’t over planned just yet.. so I guess we can say they caught me at a good time 😂

Nope I definitely totally agree, everything happens for a reason. I was more bothered that I had to reschedule with my primary doc only hours before my appointment than anything else. Weird right? But I guess that serves as confirmation that it was meant to be this way.

That is awful!! Is there an appeal process? A 2 pound weight gain could be anything... what you are wearing, sodium, menstrual cycle, digestive issues, holidays. So unfair.

      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.
