September Surgery date!!



Recommended Posts

Ok....i got a call yesterday that my surgery is scheduled for Sept 14th. I am so excited and very nervous at the same time which I guess is expected. I have wanted this for so long and I finally took the steps. I am just so nervous about going under anesthesia!! All I can think about is what if I don't wake up or if something else horrible happens during surgery. Even though I have this whole fear I am def. going to do it. I have been big all my life and it's time for a BIG change. I don't want to be the fat girl no more!!!

I just got my approval letter from the insurance company on Friday, Sept. 4th. I hope to talk to the surgeon's office on Tuesday in regards to a surgery date. I have a mandatory class that I must attend and after that class, they issue the surgery date. HOPEFULLY I will have a late Sept, early-mid October date!! CONGRATS to all of you Sept. bandees!:thumbup:

I'm getting my band on 9-13! that has got to be a lucky number for me as both of my kids had that number in sports. I am very nervous and excited at the same time. I am not afraid of the anesthesia . It always makes me feel so rested when I come out of it. My biggest fear is not having my little yorkie jump on my stomach for a week. That's going to be hard to do. My whole life I've dealt with weight. Every wish I make is "to be thin".

Now my wishes will come true. I can't wait to tuck in my blouse.

        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
