I got my operation date today...August 27th with Mr Chris HENSMAN :thumbup:...still have to confirm with work but I am sure there will be no problem with that. It was the first time I've allowed myself to get excited that this is actually going to happen.

My dad and I are going in the same day so we will be recovering and learning at the same time. It will be good to have someone to do this with!

And luckily my birthday is next week and won't be on Optifast for it! And I have a few months to get on track before I have to cook Christmas lunch for about 15-20 people :lol:

I am sure it will....I just noticed on my ticker that I am now at 30 days until surgery!! Had the counsellor consult today which was fine. Just the doc and the pre admission nurse to go!!

Oh and the leave was approved...I love when my team leader doesn't ask questions and just signs away!!

When I first started on here, my ticker said 28 days and here I am 4 days away from surgery. You'll be there before you know it!

I just realised I haven't gotten the pre-admission call yet! Must ring them tomorrow and see what's happening. I've been in meetings all week and have missed a tonne of calls, but no one has left a message....

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
