I'm excited, getting nervous and already wishing it was over! I'm scheduled at 1:30 on the 18th. I am bummed that it's so late in the day because that's a long time to go without drinking and I have no chance of going home same day.

Welcome... I know that's a long time to wait!! I have a personal connection with my doctor, he works here at my hospital where I work. He's only here one day a week in our OR to do general surgery. So when I started my doctor checks I found him to be the best in Buffalo... Once we met for the first time in his clinic for Lap-Band he was totally floored he knew me from being around/seen as an employee!! That was my shoe in for good treatment....LOL,LOL,LOL I let him know in a fun way no parties, drinking, sex, plenty of sleep the night before my surgery.... We laughed like crazy..... He has such a bed side mannor that cannot be matched by anyone else.... In my check on him I found out he even jumps in at Children's Hospital here in Buffalo to help in the Surgery unit.... Now that totally melted my heart!!

I'm on the 18th at 12:30 p.m. I'm not nervous.

Just so ready to get done with this liquid diet. At first it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but now I'm really ready for something.... pureed. Yum, I can have that the day after my surgery.

I took the day off yesterday and got a manicure and pedicure! I was feeling sorry for myself. Oh poor me, can't eat out (I love to eat out) can't buy new clothes (what's the point right now?) It worked. I think maybe I should take off every other day to do that. :clap2:

The good news is, I lost 5 lbs. right before starting liquids by doing a few days on Atkins Induction. And got up this a.m. and I'm down another 5 lbs. Woo hoo!

Well, surgery is on Monday December 17 at 1:15 (arrive to hospital at 11:30) and I am starting to feel anxious, nervous, can't stay busy enough, you name it. I cleaned house yesterday and am going to go back through and clean again today.

I hope that everything goes well for each and every one of us that has surgery coming up. I personally could not ask for a better Christmas/New Year gift.

Glad to see I'm not the only nervous one out there!! I'm up for surgery at 7 am Monday Dec 17th. I'm going crazy and having cravings for pizza and all the junk that would probably make my liver swell back up if I give in, of course I'm so hungry I'd probably eat the whole pizza!!!

I'm scared, relieved and impatient all the same. I just have to keep looking at the before/after pix on LBT and that gets my butt moving.

I hope the surgery is not too bad!

better go, I'm off to finish Christmas shopping!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • 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
