9/8 Surgery Date Vanderbilt - Nashville

[ppilch 2]

i am one week into my liquid diet and by this time next week i should be in surgery.
Day 3 & 4 of liquid was tough but i came through it. Thankfully
i am going home to Celebrate my mom’s 80th birthday this labor day weekend. I know this will be tough
first dealing with everyone in the family asking me about it and being around all the food.
i choose to keep my journey private to everyone except my immediate family.
It will be hard with my mom she will be asking me what am i eating and how much weight i have lost daily.
i dont want to become just about my surgery-
then there is the comparison to other people that have had wls amd gained weight back…
i know i am rambling but these thoughts were going through my head today

I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet. I am finally not nauseous anymore. But I'm starting to get nervous about the surgery. I've never had surgery before!!

I have a friend coming for Labor Day weekend, and it's going to be hard to eat with him. But he's supportive of my plans, although when I talked to him last night he admitted he's nervous for me. I think that's what started me being nervous.

I've been totally open about my surgery, even on Facebook. I've been talking about it too much.

I'm also really nervous about gaining weight back - I've gained weight back so many times!

I had my surgery at Vandy in Lebanon on Sept 7th. We’re in the same program!

Hey! I know this is old but anything you can tell me about your experience in Nashville would be great! Did you go through the VUMC weight loss program?

[Kimberly_TN 6]

I did and they were incredible!

Do you mind if I message you some questions??? I have my consult 2/27 and I’m so anxious with silly questions!!!
