This is My first time posting but have been reading for a week. My surgery is Monday. Super excited and stressed. I've been scouring for all the info I can find and have been very impressed with the info I've found here. I started this journey 6 weeks ago and now I'm here. Just days away from surgery! Good luck to all!

I'm having my surgery on Monday too!

Hey sleeve sister!

Post-op diet day 2. Today was much better than yesterday. Tonight I am not going to bed hungry and I ate/drank less today than yesterday. For a few hours this afternoon my husband noticed I was a little irritable but it passed. It finally hit my husband tonight that we will not be enjoying food together for quite some time.

Ive been curious to know if anyone else feels like their spouse doesn't quite grasp what exactly is going to be changing with this surgery. My husband acts like its all "my choice, my life" and its not going to affect him at all. Any postop people have advice on this? Does life really change that much or just the portions?

I'm new to Vst in the beginning process , how long does it take after first evaluation? I know its different per insurance company, mines doesn't have a wait period though. Receiving some adverse reactions some people are thinking its the easy way out . Any advice?

My surgery is supposed to be in late October. And, to be honest, I haven't really been following my 6mos supervised diet all that well. It's been really hard for me with my crazy work schedule. I know...no excuses. But, any advice to whether or not this is something I can really do?

Not sure when your surgery date is but I took my husband with me to meet the coordinator who went through every detail of the surgery in front of him. From that moment on his view was altered and his support increased tremendously. He's always been great but he has an amazing willpower when it comes to food choices and exercise that I don't possess. This definitely helped him realize I'm battling a disease.
