June sleevers?

[Healthier2day1227 326]

I am scheduled for June 10th I am really scared.

I'm scared too as well as excited.

A lot of us set for mid to late June. Good luck everybody and hope to hear how the meeting with the surgeon went. Does anybody know if they give you a set amount of weight they want u to lose pre op or do they just tell u a set time like a two week liquid diet? I fear getting this far and then not being able to lose the prescribed amount of pre op weight.

My doctor never mentioned trying to lose a specific amount of weight. From my understanding, it is more of just a liver shrinking thing.

I had to lose 5% of my weight , but have lost more. So far 30 lbs since the end of January.

I am having my surgery June 10th! I am very excited! No nerves here! This is my third surgery, thanks to my awful Lap-Band!

I had mine 4/10.

I was not nervous the entire.process- just excited...

Then 4/10 came, I was still nothing but excited. Reported to hospital, got all set, talked.to Dr and OR nurse- still excited ...anesthesiologist came in and I burst out in tears, even a little feeling of 'i can't do this' ..thank god.the anesthesia Dr was there for my meltdown because he gave.me a chill out shot and everything was good with the world again

I must say- 2.5 weeks out and I am SO GLAD I didn't chicken out, I'm positive this surgery is the.best thing I've done for myself possibly ever!

Recovery isn't.horrible.at all- be excited

I am hoping to set a June 6th date. I meet with my surgeon first on Wednesday. Not sure what he will have me doing but I am so ready. I am excited and nervous and a little worried about the pain.

Newbie, I'm a 6-4 boy as well. Being an old guy, I've had plenty of surgey and it's always fine. You go to sleep and wake up wondering when they are going to start :-)

If you know the hospital and MD are good, No Worries! The procedure is very straightforward, and not too complicated by tine structures, heck (if not squemish) you can watch on You Tube!!!

So we'll all have Gemini new stomachs!

June 19 here too

Hi, I'm new to the forum and glad I found it.

My surgery is scheduled for June 3rd. I think I may be more anxious than nervous. I found that now I have become addicted to watching YouTube videos of vsg journeys.

I'm nervous & excited & anxious & all that, too. It's such a big step, but I feel like I'm as ready as I can make myself. The 5 or 6 people I know who have had some type of WLS are sick to death of me pestering them, and I'm sure they just want me to shut up already. But I have asked every question I can think of, and searched all over these threads for tips, advice, and giggles to make it all easier. Everybody's process seems a little different, but the support is so great & very much appreciated.

I have a June 6th date and I am super excited. I have already started preparing by eating a shake for breakfast and a healthy lunch and dinner. I haven't lost any weight since I went to my surgeon on May 1st but I haven't gained anything either. I will start the real pre-op diet on May 21st after eating a really huge meal the night before. I will then start weighing my food and keeping up with exactly what I put in my mouth. I will be on shakes only the week before and I am not thrilled but I hope I will lose 10 to 20 lbs before surgery. My highest weight was 283 when I started this journey and I am at 268. I can't wait till June 6.
