    Just want to say congrats to all in here. Technically i'm June 28th (barely feel like a June-er) but just wanted to peek my head in. My post-hospital recovery began July 1st :) **waves**

    Congratulations to you also! Wish you a fast and healthy recovery on your new journey! 😀

    Guys! It’s the day!!! Surgery this morning. 730am checkin eastern time! I’m a ball of nerves but so excited to restart my life.
    My bag is (almost) packed. CHG wipes, done! Bowel prep, done! Shaved the legs cause it’s gonna be awhile lol...patch is on the way! Oh and I have my future hubby by my side...
    AND.... I TOLD MY MOM!!! I was so nervous to tell her and she told me, she supports me no matter what and she was happy I am trying to feel better in all ways.
    That makes going into this, so much better.

    ALSO: why when I must be npo after midnight am I extremely thirsty... I can’t wait to start drinking again! Even if it’s an ounce at a time 😉

    YAY CONGRATS GIRL!! Hope you have a great experience and let us know when youre ready! Woot woot!

    It's only natural to be nervous. Every time that you feel like you're freaking out and overthinking, simply go through the reasons that you made the decision to have this surgery...for me it's stuff like not having energy, my fear of not being able to fit in arena seats or ride roller coasters etc...plus as you age, you start to get these darn comorbidities that will shorten your life span.

    Just relax and breath and trust in your decision :)

    Thank you so much!

    You're having normal emotions for someone who has never had surgery. When I got my breast augmentation I felt the same way. I almost backed out while sitting in the parking lot the day of surgery because I was so afraid even though the complication rate is low. Its a scary thought going under anesthesia. But you will do just fine!!! Try to relax I know its easier said then done. You got this!!!

    Yeah i feel like i need to be changing some bad habits i have right now and im hoping ill be okay after but thank you!

    I dont know if anyone else feels this way, but i am so damn nervous and OVERTHINKING stuff.

    Im still getting this surgery no matter what, but i dont know why i feel like im not going to be ready when i walk through those doors for surgery. I still have 17 more days but im like freaking out. I start my pre op diet on the 8th so i told my friends that July 5th is my last day to eat my last "bad" meal and to have some alcohol and then its time for all this VSG stuff! Im so excited but i have never had surgery in my life and i feel this isnt real. I hope im explaining this right lol. Someone HELPPPPP pleaseeee.

    I will! Tomorrow is the prep.. not excited about that at all 🤢

    But so so close!

    Has anyone not told their parents? I feel a huge burden like I should tell my mom..but a part of me knows she is going to judge, and I don't really feel like having negative feelings going into it.

    Just feels like I am lying though..especially knowing I am going to be in the hospital for a couple days..

    I have my prep on the 17th so i have some time but ive been trying to get this surgery since November and legit only told 2 cousins (that had the surgery), my sister, and mom. As of today a few people know except my dad because hes a body builder and i feel like hes going to think im taking the easy way out. I wasnt even going to tell my mom because i felt like shed judge but she was extremely supportive and im happy i told her because she will be at the hospital taking me and being there so im happy i did plus i felt alot better telling her. Still havent decided if im going to tell my dad yet though lol

    I see some stuff about preop diet requirements. I feel extremely lucky they only requirement I have is the day before I can only consume 3 Protein Shakes and Clear Liquids. Other then that I just have to maintain my weight lost for preop. I wonder why doctor's are all so different on their preop diet choices...

    I hit the one week no-solids phase tomorrow. I didn't do that great the first week with my pre-op restrictions (real hunger kicked in Day 3), but my mother will be around this week and I refuse to sneaky-eat behind anyone's back. Tomorrow I see my therapist, so hopefully that will provide a boost as well. It's not easy imagining the day (so close!) when so little food will be satisfying or even too much.

    Girl i feel the same way. Ive been obese my entire life (and im only 22 years old) and ive never not ate entire meal. Its gonna be so weird to only eat so little but at the same time im so excited.

    I’m new to this and not sure how it works but I’m getting sleeved on July 8 in NJ. I am 41. I would love to have a little support group with other people getting sleeved around the same time so we can help support each other!

    Yay congratulations!! Wish you the best of luck 😀
