Thank you! I'm very excited, but wow this is going to be a killer month. I just was offered a new job YESTERDAY, my mom is getting married on the 15th, pre op testing on the 17th and 20th, surgery on the 27th, reception for mom on the 31st!

My head is spinning! I have to start the pre-op diet on the 20th. I'm trying to get up the nerve to read through the instructions again!

Becca, that was neat that we got to experience a fill. I have 3 drs. visits of the 6 behind me with no. 4 coming up in 6 days. It would be possible, for me to have surgery in 90 days if all goes well.

I am looking forward to the loss, but dreading just a bit going through the process. At 60, I've never spent the night in the hospital other than at birth and I know this should be day surgery, and go pretty easy, still it's just a slight bit unsettling.

Seeing your video just makes it all seem kind of routine, though I know it's not. But it is comforting to see how smoothly the process went. I would have thought he would have let the local have some time, but guess that's not needed. Keep it up and I do hope we will see more posts from you soon.

Great news on getting a date! You're having surgery down in New Albany, or thereabouts, aren't you?

SydneyLouWho, where is your Indiana surgery?

I'm getting banded in Indy/Beech Grove at St. Francis hospital.

My surgery is at Clark Memorial in Jeffersonville. Still doesn't seem real this is happening. I started this process in January, and now I'm 16 days away!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
