Congrats! My date is also 10/15! We should stay in contact and lean on on another for support. Sound good? I'll send you a friend request. Keep in touch.

Do you have to do a pre-op diet? I do. :tongue2: I start mine on the 1st. The Dr.'s nurse told me that I needed to have 3 Protein shakes a day and two healthy meals.(low fat, low carb)

Anyway, I can't wait. The 15th will not be here soon enough! :wink2:

Rulooknatme sounds great and it is nice to meet someone with the same surgery date. I do not have to do a preop diet but I am. I am going to being doing the new life style Protein Meal Replacement shakes and a healthy meal a day. I am really nervous but more excited to be getting this fresh start at weightloss with a tool I believe is really going to help me. Talk to you real soon.

Sounds like we have a deal. :thumbup: Well, good luck with your pre-op diet. I think that it's great that your doing it even though you don't have to. 18 Days and counting!!! I can't wait! Keep in touch. :frown:

I am getting banded Oct 14th at Maples in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I am on day 6 of Optifast and am really needing support! I can have 3 Optifast and up to 2 cups of non-starch vagetables a day. Apart from wanting to chew my own arm off - things are great!! I am so looking forward to dealing with my weight issue once and for all. At least now when I do the right things I will see results.

Where is everybody from? I am from Regina Saskatchewan.

      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.
