I had so many fears just like that. It will be fine you're going through something many of us had. I used to drink a lot n thought they're going to get in there and my liver is going to be too enlarged... lol I'm 12 days post GBP and it all went well.

My doctor wasn't strict on the 2 week pre op diet. I still was supposed to get 800-1000 calories in with one of my meals being solid food. I did pretty good. Yesterday I had Soup for my Christmas dinner, but I did eat a peanut bar cookie thing, just 1. Now tomorrow starts my clear liquid diet and that's going to be a doozy but I only had to do that for 2 days. I'm just stressed and fearful about something going wrong. I've been waiting 2 years for this surgery. I just want everything to go well. My anxiety is just horrible these last couple of days.

Has anyone ever come out of surgery and been told they couldn't do the operation? It's one of my biggest fears and with surgery happening this Thursday, I'm so nervous.

Happened to me. After 3 of the 6 incisions, my 1st VSG attempt was aborted. I still had too much abdominal weight, which caused concerns and therefore aborted. I had successful VSG surgery 8 months later.

No but my surgeon said that if I had,requested anything except vsg he would've closed it up and canceled.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
