I scheduled my psych appt w/Dr Ron Lelito, who else went to see him? My appts not for 2 weeks. I'm a little nervous, they said its 3 hours long?!? I can even imagine how much he can ask in 3 hours...

I saw him about a month ago. I was only there about an hour. He is very direct, does not waste time. I would not be nervous. Of course he said I was not psycho, so I am not sure if he is such a good judge of character, LOL.

A number of us have used him, and we have all been approved.

My surgery will be in July, we are still hammering out the details. For clear liquids I just drank canned chicken broth, popsicles and Jello. Do you have diabetes? I used jello with sugar and it really screwed me up a little, too much sugar too fast.

As a reminder, you can not eat red jello or popsicles.

Where are you going? I live in Elma, I went to a guy in West Seneca.

How exciting Judy! I am having a tough time being away from home and eating properly. To much time and temptation. I can't wait to get home on Saturday. I am having it on Thursday so I just asked my intern to send me the instructions as I thought I had to stop certain things ahead of time. I am glad I did because I have to stop the Iron pills. Yes I am diabetic so I always have suger free Jello in the house but of course most of it is red. I live in S Buffalo and go to a woman in West Seneca but Dr. Hoffman wants to do this himself.

I was there from 8:45 until 2, but I was closed in the room most of the time. Were you there with your husband? I am vaguely aware of a couple coming out of one of the rooms, but I was focused on myself. It had occurred to me that both of you would be there post-op, then is slipped my mind. Oh well, another time!

Any walkers for this Saturday? I am not sure as I may be camping. I know Nicki will be in NYC, lucky girl. I will call you Val and Lorraine and let you know either way. If I am in Buffalo I will walk for sure!

I am hoping to leave Friday and stay at camp until Sunday am. I will call you though either way. I think Loraine might go. Maybe there will be some new walkers to accompany you?

hi my name is china i have been roaming around here just reading i have did all the test except pyc. and the scope one turned in application about a month ago just to learn today that no one has it and i brought it in. was informed that there is not seminar for july next one isn't till aug. so can any one tell me if they have been invited to one for june. spoke with lisa and she said she was going to check into the date and see where my application could have gone. im hoping that it is just misplaced. im a little disappointed but i have to remember that all good things come to those who wait.

i keep reading about support meetings and was wondering if there is any one that walks during the week in the evening time. if so can i join.

        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!

      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
