I'm going to be there tonight! I missed the last meeting due to work, but I'll be there with my mum as my sidekick. I'm super excited... I've got a date for my surgery!

Whoopee! Saw you at the meeting last night and really happy for you. If there is anything at all I can help you with just call. When do you go on the pre op diet? What type of pre op diet are you being put on? Did Dr. W. explain what you are trying to accomplish with the pre op? Any question if I can't answer, I am sure someone else will read the post and chime in.

I am so busy that I can't get out to meetings with twins at home. I have my lapband date for nov 5 with Dr. W. I had my anasteology consult and cannot wait to get this done. I have been researching WLS for at least 6 months.

mom2 very exciting news. If you can't make the meetings, and need support just e mail me. Dr. W. does the surgery, and has you back to see him but he doesn't really have a supporting clinic. So if you need literature on what to eat and how much, I can scan what I have and send to you. Going it alone for the first while can be scarey as you don't know what to expect. Take care and congratulations on both the twins and your upcoming 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. 🤞
