Recommended Posts

The center called to tell me to report at 6:15 tomorrow morning.. YIKES, OMG, and YIPEEE all at the same time.

It sounds like I may be one of the first surgeries in the morning. I am so excited, so nervous, so glad this day has finally come about. I hope I can sleep tonite (even though I will be watching the Phillies). TOO MANY emotions going on right now.

My family just stares at me as I blab away.. I have dreamed about this for several years, always backing out of a seminar or pursuing any further action, but now I AM SO READY. YIPEEE FOR ME>.

I have to stay overnight , but when I get home on Friday I will be posting on the post op side of the board and let you all know how it went..

I love that I have this venue to let out my emotions... cause right now I want to SING>>>>LA LA LA..

PS (no I am not nuts, just so happy I can not contain myself).

Have a great day.

Barbara

A Big CONGRATS Barb, I am sure right now you are absolutely floating. I sooo understand the reflecting of all it took to get you to this very point in time, and just how elated you are.

I truly believe that with this entire process, each step and how we preceive and react to it is what will ultimately decide how we finish this new chapter to our lifes story.

Once Upon a Time:.............................

Thanks Guys.

I can not contain my excitement (and I do realize there will be soreness and gas and all of the fun go alongs afterwards).

But for once I truly do feel this is a new leash on life for me.

I even started to set up a blog to chronicle for my own satisfaction and if others want to come along.... that is fine.. the more the merrier.

I am going to the BarixClinic in Langhorne.. short drive from home, very convienent, and very nice staff and I love my surgeon Dr.Boe. So I am very comfortable with all aspects of this experience. Thanks for your supportive messages.

Good luck to all.

        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
