December 3rd anyone?



Recommended Posts

Well tomorrow is my big day and although being nervous I am also excited. I spoke with my doctor today and he reassured me everything would be fine. He was happy to hear I have done well with pre-op and that I stuck to it 100% and lost weight. He feels that I should be home by tomorrow evening. At first I was definately staying with a high BMI and bad sleep apnea but now with the loss he feels that may change. I would rather be in my own bed anyway. Wish me luck please. I will keep everyone posted on my outcome and progress.

p.s. Florida Pete thanks for the Holiday Hotties in the signature.

Good luck to you Mike. It is great that your Doc is pleased with the success that you have had on your pre-op diet. That I have seen so many times on the forums is one huge key to making sure you have a successful surgery and fast recovery!

Do let us know how your doing. Unfortunately I will be away from the computer until the 8th after tomorrow but I will be sure to be checking in on your and others around here as soon as I am back and of course letting everyone know how things went for me too!

Viva la Mexico!

Oh and your most welcome on the signature. Glad people like it :cursing:

Hello December Banders,

I see everyone is excited about their upcoming surgery. I am getting a little nervous as I approach my two weeks of pre-op dieting and the surgery December 22nd. I wish you all the best and look forward to chatting with you soon.

Thanks Pete and good luck to you to. I probably will not get to talk to you until you get back from Mexico.

Well I am off to the hospital. I got a call from them last night moving my surgery up a few hours to 12:50 from 9:50. Oh well just more time without drinks and some more time to think.

I never thought I would say this but I really want a Protein drink right now. :smile2:

Thanks to everyone for the support and good words and good luck to everyone else.

This site is the best!!

I am with you Mr. Mike - that Protein shake sounds like filet mignon right now!!! liquids all day today - the clear kind that still leaves you hungry... Ah well - it will all be worth it! You will be in my thoughts today and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Pete - thanks for all you do for us! You will be leaving for sunny Mexico soon - if not already on your way. We will keep you in our prayers. Can't wait to hear how everythings goes for you, too.

I fly out Thursday morning at 6:30am. So I still have one more day before heading to Mexico. Funny part is the weather there and the weather here are almost the same right now for me so I am going from one warm climate to another. LOL - so flip flops, shorts, and tee shirts are all packed. :smile2:

Pete, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow morning as we drive to Topeka - right about the time you will be flying off to a similar climate in your flip-flops. I am a bit envious of you today - our weather is cold and damp and I am feeling it! You will be in my prayers, Pete. I am looking forward to hearing how you are doing very soon.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
