I'm scared too. I keep thinking that I won't succeed and then I will have spent tons of money for nothing.

July 2nd is my date! It's exciting to see so many people being banded on the same day as me. I'll be thinking of you all when they are rolling me into the OR crying! I'm going to be so emotional... scared/happy/excited/nervous/any emotion you could possibly think of! :(

Good luck guys! :drool:

I don;t have a specific date yet, but considering I went to the cardiologist today for my initial exam for my medical clearance and scheduled my stress test for the 19th of this month, I am pretty sure my surgery will now be in the beginning to mid July. WooHoo!! :(

I'm scheduled for July 9th. I just gave my work the doc's note. Thank god they didnt ask any questions. Had a whole bunch of things ready to tell them except the truth. It's not that i don't believe in what i'm doing, just that i don't need the freakin corporation to know about it...500 people word gets around fast!!!

Woo Hoo! I was told by our coordinator my surgery would be in July. She cannot give a firm date until I have my 2nd consult with the surgeon, but I will have all my requirments completed by the end of June and I also have to do a two week pre-op liquid diet. Do we have a group name yet?

I am also scheduled for July 8 and I am also wondering if I am doing the right thing. :eek: I think it is the first few weeks that have me worried the most. I have SO MUCH going on, with being a single mom to 7 kids, a new litter of puppies, and my ebay business. Do I really have time to do this? I am NOT canceling, some how I am going to make it fit my schedule!

      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
