Finally, Approved And Have A Date With Vsg!



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!!!

I finally received my approval letter for the VSG and my tentative surgery date is MAY 1, 2012!! I've gone through just about all the emotions thus far. I'm supposed to start my pre-op liquid diet next week after I see my NUT on the 13th and I'm terrified!! I've read a lot of blogs about what others are doing to get through. Does Bougie size really matter??? Just asking that everyone keep me lifted in prayers! Best wishes to those who are about to have the surgery as well as those recovering!! A SPEEDY RECOVERY to you all. I am open to ANY SUGGESTIONS. I'm also vlogging my journey on Youtube: I'm jmcbribe - feel free to follow my process!! Thanks for the support you all!

And I quote you: "I've gone through just about all the emotions thus far." Now you get to go through all of them again and more intensely than before now that you can attach a final date...a "point of no return." :wacko: Stick to your guns. The road is not a smooth one but it has been well-traveled by thousands before you. The most important thing you can have is a positive attitude. I'm one week post-op and looking forward to my new future without any regrets. Best of luck and my hearfelt wishes for a smooth procedure and speedy recovery.

How exciting... my time rushed past me so fast, I was overwhelmed I think... that "feeling the emotions again" perhaps? Congrats to you. I wish you a great surgery, fabulous and easy recovery and all of the positivity that your soul can hold. Best of luck to you.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
