Need some help from others who hate veggies.
Melissa1234 replied to Taylor06's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not a big veggie fan either. I do like green beans with a little butter and garlic salt. Steamed carrots are pretty good too. -
I have mine tomorrow morning-I'll post my experience too. Been told by many that it's a piece of cake so trying not to be too nervous.

Can I do this...

I feel the same way, trapped in this body that's holding me back hoping this surgery will change my life. I have anxiety and depression too. We CAN do this!! -
I have a Surgery Date!

Best wishes on your upcoming surgery! -
I have my egd next Thursday and I'm pretty nervous. Can anyone tell me about their experience? I'm told I will be put to sleep which really scares me, I guess I just don't like not being in control. I'm going to try my best to stay calm and get through it. I really want this surgery so I need to get over my fears somehow.

Yay! I'm hoping for end of July

Well I would say if you want the sleeve, don't let a paperwork error change your mind. I would Start making phone calls and get it straightened out. What a mess, I feel for you.

In need of friends/buddies for this new journey
Melissa1234 replied to Alexco's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Alex! I'm preop too with an estimated late July surgery date. Don't worry we all feel the same way about the preop diet and complications. There are lots of vets on here that are great about calming our fears and being supportive. You will do great, welcome to the boards! -

Consultation with my surgeon in a couple days- Are there specific questions I should ask him?
Melissa1234 replied to crosseyedtango's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If they use staples and then sew over the staple lines, if they give you meds to prevent gallbladder issues, do u need a drain, swallowing any meds you may take...can't remember what else but it's a start -
