Welcome to the pumpkin Patch!!!:rolleyes2: We are smashing pumpkins around here. That is fast! I hope times flies for all of us before our surgery. I am still trying to learn as much as I can. There are some good books out there too. I love these boards. I wish I could spend the whole day on them!

Does your birthday have to be in October or just your surgery date? My surgery date is October 3 but my birthday is in November. I have less than a week now before I am banded. I am soooooooooooo excited.

Thanks Bridgette. It seems like time is slowly passing by. Next Friday is the big day. I have already got all my Vitamins and the food I need after surgery. I have a bag packed just in case I have to stay over night. But I am optomistic, I'll do fine and I will be able to come home the same day. I have been doing everything I am suppose to, to get rid of the "liver fat". I can't wait to get rid of "ALL" the fat. I have been on my pre-op diet for a week now and I have already lost 8 lbs.

Well, it's Saturday and I have chores to do. I'm trying to get the house all clean, so I won't have to worry about next week and after surgery.

      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. 🤞
