thanks guys ...

i go in tomorrow morning at 6. not sure how long checking in (even though i did it on the web, im sure they will want to verify) and the drawing will take.

DD is bringing his camera to take as many pics as he can (both before and after surgery) i asked Dr. P if he would take pics and he didnt seem too enthused. i dont want to push it and really who wants to see my belly lying on a table ? ick.

we're picking my dad up from the airport this afternoon and then dinner and i think i'll take a valium tonight. last night was not a good night sleepwise again. holy crap nerves are really setting in. hopefully they will give me something when i check in tomorrow. i cant even imagine walking into the OR. at least with the band my IV was already started and i was wheeled in. i think here i get to walk in ... yikes!!!

OMG, I'm nervous for you. Just sitting here thinking about what that must feel like, my hands started shaking. You must be a bundle of nerves.

I'll be praying for you, and for your surgeon that he has quick, skilled hands, and that there will be no complications, and for a speedy UNEVENTFUL recovery!

Hey girl, tomorrow will soon be here and just take deep breaths.. you are a strong woman and I know you will get through this with flying colors! I know you are nervous, but just think, when you wake up, it will be over and then the recovery will begin and I'm sure you'll get plenty of pain meds to help you out. This is something you've been wanting for a while now, and now it's finally happening!! I'm so happy for you darling! remember, deep breaths and you'll get through this!! HUGGS

I have been away from LBT for a while, busy and such, and just read about your next journey tomorrow. What an inspiration you are (and have been with couch to 5k etc). I am so very excited for you, and will be saying prayers for you as well. It will be over before you know it, and soon the new you will be up and about! How cool is that?!!

Please keep us posted, we care!!

OMG... my ticker says 0 days SINCE my TT... I kinda wanted to see 0 days until, but thats ok...

3am and I've been awake for about half an hour... need to get up at 415 to shower and such, but I'm pretty much wide awake.

sooooo excited, hope DrP is getting a better sleep than I am... :rolleyes2:

I will post the new thread from my DH's iPhone when he decides to wake up.... (sleeping is not easy when you have a 4 yr old DEEP breathing and DH's occasional snore in the same room, but I wouldnt trade them for the world)...

ok... back to bed to rest...

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
