I got a call from my doctors office yesterday morning. They told me my surgery is scheduled for 7:30am on Monday (August 4th). I'm so anxious I barely slept last night.

I'm on day 5 of my two week pre-op diet. This diet is not as bad as I thought. I try to stay out of my kitchen add much as possible. There's too many temptation laying around. My teenage daughter asked me to make her dinner tonight and I flat out refused. Little momma had to make her own food or starve tonight. The choice was hers. My hat goes off to the people that cook dinner during their week diet. I don't know how you do it.
By the way, my baby girl made dinner for herself and her sister.

Whew...I suck to my pre-op diet and made it through my birthday without eating cake or drinking alcohol. It was hard. I haven't told anyone besides my wife about my upcoming surgery. So my friends and family put a lot of pressure on me to day. They all meant well.
I made a promise to myself and stuck to it. Good luck to everybody.

LMAO....Now that's funny!

Today is my 48th birthday and I'm in the middle of the 2 week pre-op diet. I've been doing pretty good on the diet so far.
My birthday gift to myself will be 100% adherence to the diet today. My surgery is August 4th. Good luck to all my fellow August Sleevers. We got this!

I only told my wife about my upcoming surgery. The only reason I told her is because of the overnight hospital stay & needing a ride home. I've sworn her to secrecy. My wife is doing everything she can to talk me out of my surgery. So even now I regret that I told her. I don't want my kids or the rest of the family to know. I have a great family and in-laws. I just don't want to tell them. I know if I tell my kids I might as well post it in Twitter, Facebook & Instagram. Or Twacetagram as I call it.
I'm definetly not telling my friends and coworkers. I've witness their disdain for another coworker who had wls. Good or bad...I don't want to be the topic of conversation. I don't want everybody constantly asking how much weight have I lost.

I havent told anyone other than my partner as I dont want to listen to their negativity and horror stories I am well aware of the risks and the permancy of the sleeve but I have dieted and exercised my whole adult life so I think I have well and truly reached the point of needing some surgical intervention. I am having my surgery August 19 and have no plans to tell any one before or after.

I'm having the same decision. I went to True Results in Houston and I was advised to get a Lap Band. I did my researched on the Lap Band and didn't like what I found. True resukts only do Lap band or Gastric Sleeve. So I changed my mind and started the paprework to get sleeved. Today I found out that I was approved fr the sleeve, but now I'm having some serious doubts. If I'm going to get a WLS why don't I go for the gusto. I also have a sugar addiction, so I can see myself wolfing down hard candy after I get sleeved. I made an appointment to see a doctor who specialize in Gastric Bypass. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions....
The only good thing is I know I will get approved for whatever WLS I choose.

I am in the same boat -- the reason I need the sleeve is because I can't follow the rules and I make terrible food choices and overeat. There's no way to know ahead of time if the Sleeve will be an effective tool for me -- will it be enough to give me the ability to make the right choices? I have no idea. All I know is that I can't do it now, pre-surgery. It's one thing to be aware of the rules and understand them -- most of us already have a very good handle on this from years of dieting. It's another thing to be able to follow the rules. I'm really hoping that the sleeve will allow me to succeed in following the rules. Good Luck to you, and to those of you who have already had the sleeve and making it work, thanks for the all the helpful posts and Congrats!

I understand your concern. I too am afraid of it as well. I know two that have failed and one that is on their way. I have struggled with weight my whole life. I love this site. It gives you encouragement that you can do it. The surgery is a tool, as well as this site. I believe if you use the tools and keep your mind focused your goals can be achieved. Positive thoughts equal positive outcomes... Stay positive. Stay strong and keep telling your self you can do i!
Do you have a date yet?

Hi I'm a newbie from the great state of Texas. I got approved, by my insurance company, for WLS a few weeks ago but I have been struggling with my decision to have myself sleeved. The past few weeks I've been going back and forth deciding between gastric bypass or gastric sleeve. I've finally decided to get sleeved. I go in for my KGB..GED..EGD...or whatever you call it, in late June. (I know it's EGD, but I joke a lot. Please have a sense of humor when you read any of my post)
Now where was I?
My main struggle is overeating. I'm afraid that I can get this operation and end up regaining a lot of weight. I have a coworker who had the bypass surgery last year and he's already regaining some of his weight. He is eating all of the wrong food. My coworker told everybody about his WLS. I heard all the negative comments he had to deal with. A lot of people told him he would end up gaining the weight back. It pissing me off that he's going to prove them right. Even the people that give him encouragement is laughing at him behind his back. Well it also don't help that he can be an assh#le to everybody every now and then. ANYWAY...where was I?
Watching what my coworker and a few other people went thru, I've decided not to tell anyone about my WLS. I told my wife and that's it. I don't want to deal with the negativity. Plus I don't want to fail and give everybody something to talk about. I'm not just referring to my coworkers, but my family and friends also.
I don't want to be a topic of conversation, I just want to be healthy.
My main worry about getting a VSG is that I will fail. I've been reading a lot of the post in this forum for guidance.
Y'all have answered a lot of my questions and made me secure in my decision to get a VSG. Thank you guys and girls for all of your words of encouragement to each other. Even though you guys weren't talking to me, you really were talking to me. Capisce?
