Well i have to say i am starting to get a bit nervous, but am finding some comfort on here reading alot of the post.

So are there any Oct surgerys out there? Would really like to start getting a good support team going as i work up to that day and beyond. On 17 sept i have to start 2 week liquid diet and am really going to try to start maybe having one meal a day with a shake, that way i dont go cold turkey and body is starting to get use to liquids.

Would like to chat with anyone who has just been through it or about too.

Good luck to all.:thumbup:

I know you must be excited about your surgery date. I was banded in July and have been very happy with the process. Hope you will be too. I will be happy to talk to you any time.

Hello. Congratulations, bet your getting as nervous/excited as I am. My surgery date is October 7th. I wish it was tomorrow. :wink: Can't wait to hear how everything goes with you and how your liquid diet goes. My Doctor told me that I don't have to go crazy with the liquid diet but maybe a shake for Breakfast and lunch then a resonable dinner with lean meats and veggies. Good luck to you! Ellen

My date is Oct 7th as well. I have the same pre-op diet of 3 Protein Shakes a day plus one meal of veggies and low fat meat, 1 dairy and 1 fruit. It will be interesting to see how much I lose on that. I'll be in Florida for one of the weeks swimming a lot so that will help! Good luck to you all!

Just a test to see if I loaded my weight tracker correctly. I was guessing how to do it.

      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.
