Hi Everyone,

I am being banded 9/23 by Dr. Newlin in Altoona, PA. They wanted it to be 9/9 but one of my best friends is getting married 9/13 and I was afraid I would miss the wedding.

Today I went to my nutrition meeting! They covered what to eat, when to eat, how to eat etc... They also covered on what to expect with the surgery!

I was surprised to find out they really don't have a pre-op diet so to speak, but the Dr. would like you to lose about 10 pounds. I want to make sure everything is ok so I opted to do a cross between powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and Optifast for Breakfast and lunch and then a healthy choice for dinner!

I also went to the hospital today and they did a UA, chest x-ray, ekg, bloodwork, weighed and measured me. They also gave me a bottle of magnesium citrate (for clean out) on Sunday before surgery:scared2:. They also gave me some soap to wash with the night before and then the morning after.

The good news I am the first one out in the morning. My surgery is scheduled for 7:30am. I also found out they give me a tummy Teddy Bear for coughing~:smile2:

It's really nice to see so many of us able to be sharing in the wonderful journey ahead! Good luck to all!

      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. 🤞
