Jamie, stay away from the t.v. tonight...too many food commercials! And don't forget to shave your legs tonight. Why are you worrying about getting your beauty sleep? You know you won't be able to sleep anyway -- too excited! Stick a package of Peanut Butter crackers in there for your DH tomorrow. Mine about starved to death. I was there at 5:30 am, but didn't get on the o.r. table until 1 p.m I was o.k. with that, I wanted the surgeon to take his time on them so he'd do the same for me.

Oh yeah, can't forget the husband....Mine just about starved. I too was in at about 5:30am and din't get on the operation table till about 12noon. Make sure he's got plenty of coffee. ;) You are going to be fine. The anestesiologist (however it's spelled) will ask you to think of a nice place about a minute before you dose off. I said a prayer, thought of my children and my husband and dosed off into lala land.

I'll be here to hear the rough times, good times, and to encourage you. I look forward to your success with the band.

Later!

My DH HATES coffee and I love it ! Go figure!!I'll have to keep him supplied with quarters for the coke machine. My surgery is supose to be the first of the day,so I hope all will go quickly for me. If that anestesiologist asks me to count like they did with my gallbladder surgery it will sound like this. WO.....???________________________________LOL!!!!

Well, Be prepared to have some discomfort when you wake up. Not real bad. It was bad for me because I have allergies and my throat felt like I had to clear some mucous and I was coughing up a storm. They kept telling me to stop and that I was just feeling the irritation from the tube they put in my throat. I said no it wasn't that, and then It cleared, no more mucous. Then I stopped coughing and my belly didn't hurt so bad. Pretty gross huh?!

Yeah, but don't forget that Jamie already had a trial run last month, getting her gallbladder out! She's an old pro at this. (And Jamie, you don't want to be able to hear the guy say, "OK,Doc, she's under, proceed." LOL)

Now's not the time to lie about your weight!! Get enough of that stuff to knock you out. LOL

My thoughts are with you. You will be fine. You are so much closer to living your dreams not just wishing them.

        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
