I found this group on Facebook for any August sleevers in this thread. It’s called VSG August 2018 Supporters, if anyone is on Facebook you should join! https://m.facebook.com/groups/922381094631685 Maybe this link will work...

This is honestly the one thing I am the most terrified of (probably more than dying). I really hope this doesn’t happen to me but the permanence of this surgery freaks me out sometimes. Although, everyone I have ever met that had it loves it and says it was the best section of their life. I don’t know. Just hoping for the best at this point and trying to stay positive.

Just got my date today, 06/18/18. I’m partially excited, and also terrified. I’m very happy to have a date to work towards and get everything in a row, because the unknown was driving me crazy!

Dumb question but what list? Also I don’t know if got added to it but my date is August 23rd for the sleeve. ☺️

I had so many food funerals! Part of the reason I gained 10 pound rather than lost 10

Same here Chris B! I am over this preop life already.

Today is one of those days with no thoughts of possible regret of second guessing. I just wish I had my surgery done already!!! This emotional rollercoaster is killing me. My date isn’t until 8/23 😭

Thank you so much!! That is exactly what I needed to hear today! I know second guessing is normal but it’s scary!

Yay!! Yours is so soon!! Are you excited?!?

Hey all!! My surgery was originally scheduled for June 18th, but due to a variety of reasons I had to delay until August. My new date is .. August 23rd!!! Are there any surgery twins out there? Any other August sleevers? I would love a support system, because my real life support system is tiny, and I’m starting to freak out and second guess every decision I’ve made. Let’s form a support network!

That’s great that you are so motivated!! I’m supposed to lose 10 pounds before surgery, but so far I have gained 7 😭. I’m going to start drinking more shakes in place of meals in July. Maybe even start the preop early (I have to do 3 weeks). I’m so frustrated because my body sucks and the more I diet and watch what I eat the less weight I lose. I hadn’t gained anything in 6 months until a month ago. Now I’ve been tracking since June 1st and gained 5 pounds. 🤬

I’m going on vacation July 12th! Part of reason I switched from the June surgery date. I’m glad that you’re feeling ready! That’s great!!!

I’m feeling the same way!! Some days I wish the surgery was tomorrow. Some days I am second guessing it.

Hi all. Im late to the party but my VSG surgery date is 8/23! It’s going to take me some time to read through all 58 pages of this thread but I wanted to say hi! I’m in the midst of some serious second guessing. Yesterday I felt hungry and was sad thinking about how I might never feel that again. Weird, I know.

I still can’t find it. 😭I’m going to search on the site instead.

Sorry I just have missed that thread. This new app is driving me crazy!

I’ve always been a more salty snacker, and these are at least full of protein. I could eat them every day. Anyone else?

Long story short my surgery date was supposed to be in June, but I had to postpone to August. My new date is August 23rd! Any other August sleevers in here? I would love a support group as I am freaking out, and basically second guessing my decision on a daily basis.

How about now? [emoji23]

Hahaha! You’re too funny!! Thank you! Yeah I’m really going to focus on tracking, getting in protein, and not eating and drinking at the same time. Horrible habit to break. You’ll be here soon enough! [emoji5]

Where is the Facebook group?

I’m still preop, but I think I understand what you’re saying and that makes total sense. It’s almost like when I quit smoking. Now the thought of having to go outside and smoke throughout he day seems SO odd and unnatural to me. When I was trying to quit though the opposite was true. Thinking about not smoking seemed like the end of the world. This gives me a lot of hope for post op [emoji173]️

I’m also on track for April or May!! Wishing you luck and maybe we will be surgery twins!

Did you guys read my mind?? I’m pre-op but kind of freaking out second guessing everything, and looking for a support group to hear more about people’s journey.

Looking as possibly April or May. If I go through with this. I’m having some serious cold feet this week.
