I haven't been on here for some time now, but thought because I got my surgery date yesterday that I should get back on here and talk to you all incase I need some support and advice. You all are a great support group and I need to be in touch.

I'm getting banded on April 21st.:tt2: Now that I have a date, I think I'm a little nervous.:frown: Is that normal? I've wanted this for so long and have jumped through the hoops that have been required to get it ....now I'm having thoughts of ....am I doing the right thing? I woke up this morning at 4 am and couldn't shut my head off to go back to sleep, just thinking about all this. Don't get me wrong...I'm doing it! Just want to know if what I'm feeeling is a bit normal.

GOSH! I can't believe it's going to happen this month! Looking forward to being among all you bandsters.:thumbup:

Oh I'm going to go through with it and I look forward to being healthier and maybe getting off the stupid CPAP machine. I hate that thing, but I have to sleep with it because of my sever sleep apnea. I know my husband love me to sleep next to me with that God awful mask on every night.

I'm feeling a bit better this morning after just writing earlier and will start to go out and purchase what I need for after the surgery.

I think I was just a little nervous as I went to see the surgeon yesterday and wasn't thinking that I'd get a surgery date, just put on the surgery waiting list......no waiting, just got it! Wasn't expecting that at all!

Congrats! on your April 10th surgery date.

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

        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.

      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
