I'm scheduled for VGS 5/20/16 and am on day 8 of liquid diet. I was wondering if anyone else had weight issues (other than why we're having surgery LOL). My weight fluctuates 5-8 lbs from morning to morning. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am going to bed so I'm not tempted to eat!! 2 days down & 12 more to go! OMGOSH!!! I hope it gets easier Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm having the sleeve on June 20th. Started my 2 week pre-op liquid diet this morning. It's getting so close. I get nauseous when I think about it! Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Good luck!!!! Let us know how you're doing! I started my 2 week pre-op liquid diet this morning so I'm not too far behind you. Which procedure are you having done Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have found myself in the same boat! My VGS surgery was put off until June 20th. I was originally scheduled for April 25th. Now I'm conflicted about the TYPE of procedure I want. I was hyped and ready before. Now I'm thinking I should have the Roux en y or bypass because I'm hearing they help diabetes more. Does anyone have experience with that? I'm afraid if I do change it that they will push my surgery off even more!!! I have had several food "funerals" too CariVoe. I think I better stop though or I'll have even more weight to lose.

I can so relate gutsy911er. I've had myself so hyped up about having the sleeve and I just got scheduled for surgery on June 20th. Now I'm having reservations Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

This is so inspirational! Thank you for sharing your progress and photos. I'm waiting on my surgery date and I'm beginning to have doubts! I'm afraid of going through all of this and then not lose weight! I need to lose SO MUCH. But thank you for a great success story Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Dear UpandAtom Your journey sounds similar to mine. I am in Missouri, just outside of St Louis, I finally had s surgery date of April 25th and started my pre-op liquid. I found out today my PCP has changed his mind and will NOT give clearance until I see a neurosurgeon regarding some MRI results of my neck and upper spine. I'm so frustrated with this roller coaster but I've come too far to turn around now. I too have knee replacements. 3 of them. Both knees were replaced when I was 40. My left was replaced again in 2011 which caused me spinal injuries and I became disabled. I am 52 and feel like this VGS will be the tool I need to turn my health and my life around. Do you have a date yet or is it done already? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello everyone I am 52 (53 next month) and I'm scheduled for VGS April 25 th in St Louis, Mo area. I know y'all are already done but I am needing some WLS friends to communicate with. I am only on day 2 of my pre op liquid diet and I can't shake this thought of "what if"! What if this doesn't help me lose. What if my diabetes isn't any better. What if I go through all of this for nothing. Help!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Put a call in to your Bariatrics Surgeon. They need to be aware even though it's probably not a serious problem. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
