My time is winding down my surgery is Wednesday getting closer and I’m nervous . I’m still struggling with some depression and I couldn’t be my emotions but I believe I’ve done all I could about my weight on my own. I’ve always been heavy even though people try to excuse it because I look good (not trying to toot my own horn) but people always says that it was okay for me to be big because I’m not ugly but besides that the sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and asthma has taken over my life. I’ve gather some great tips from this website and YouTube and I just pray that I make it with out any complications..I choose not to tell my parents or any of my friends because I can’t handle the excuse or negativity I just can’t anymore I’m feeling a little guilty as well but I’ll get over it

My surgery is Wednesday also! Good luck to us!

I am scheduled for Sept 10 for the GERD. I have had my sleeve for the past six years I’ve had nothing but complications. I didn’t experience the GERD till six months after the sleeve is done but they didn’t diagnose the gERD till almost 3 years later.

I’ve been on three different PPIs, Bought a $7000 bed to elevate me while I sleep, and have to take another medication four times a day just to give me a little relief.

For the past three years been trying to get a stretta procedure approved. Each time getting denied. This year my insurance finally started covering Stretta but because of the insurance they wanted pic. The ESG showed I had a hiatal hernia and polyps. So now I’m going to be having A gastric sleeve to Roux en Y revision.

I’ve cheated the whole time but I still have 1 more week..I’m ashamed but the doctor did say that was going to stop the surgery

I choose not to tell anybody not even my parents...I lost 50 pounds a year ago and had Lipo and a Brazilian but left and in my opinion everybody was jealous and when I gain weight back everybody thought it was funny and besides that no one that’s over weight should tell you what’s best for your health....move in silence girl

I am going to be blunt and say that the picture you paint here is someone without the self-control to be successful long term. If you get the surgery I have no doubt you will lose weight for the first few months, maybe even the first year. But after that I cannot see you staying successful. The types and amount of food you were eating were not just out of hunger, this was out of desire and habit. If you had given into hunger and eaten something even half-way healthy my assessment might be different.
My aunt also had this surgery and has regained all of her weight and then some because of these behaviors. She lost a lot of weight in the first year and then chose to snack throughout the day on very unhealthy items. 3 years later she has paid the price for this and has had an ulcer due to the combination of the surgery and not following the doctors advice.
This is a major problem and one you have to fix BEFORE surgery. After the surgery you will be able to in short order eat things you should not. I was sleeved less than 3 weeks ago and I have no doubt whatsoever that if I chose to I could eat some french fries and they would stay down just fine. Not only have I had the very strong craving for them but I have had people eat them right in front of me in the lunch room at work, and I know full well a 2 minute drive is all it would take for me to run down and get my own. My morning fast food meal would almost always include a McDonalds hash brown and I still crave them every single morning, especially when I have to drive past it every single day.
Self-control and discipline is the only thing standing between success and failure all of us and it will be the same with you. You will be exposed to all of your favorite foods on a nearly daily basis and you will crave them, and you will be physically able to eat them much sooner than you think. I personally think you need to work on your self-control with a professional before you get this surgery, otherwise I fear that you will end up in worse shape in the long run. Good luck.

I didn't think pre-ops were supposed to drink broth all day, I know my sheet said I could have 1 cup a day. Did your pre-op diet sheet really say you could have unlimited broth?

As far as being nervous, that's 100% normal and natural. I'd be more worried if you weren't nervous at all.

Try a different method
whatever gets you to the finish line

I’ve been practicing to and honestly I don’t Like it takes the flavor away..I honestly don’t think I’ll like food as much as I do now again

I’m so concerned about that...I already struggle with my hair now lol but I read on Pinterest that if you use Biotin drops directly to the scalp and wash your hair with biotin Shampoo it want fall out but I’m really starting to doubt that

Most of us have been there. Get back on track and post here as often as you can to relieve stress.
