Hey everyone, so I just got my surgery date. And I must admit I am very nervous and executed.

Initially I had wanted to get the sleeve done but my surgeon insists that bypass is better for long term results. I am looking for long term results but the bypass procedure is a bit more invasive than the sleeve and that works my nerves.

It seems that when people,get their surgery dates they are months out, did you have to do any supervised diets or anything? How long has your whole process been so far? Just wondering if there's hope of not having to wait for nearly a year for it all to happen.

No. Thankfully my date was a few weeks away. My date is set for the 7th of February. And yes he put me on a strict diet 2 weeks prior to surgery. I start my diet on Monday. It consists of 4 Protein shakes, 1 high Protein snack and 1 limited meal.

My process took 6 months. Insurance requirements. I had to go to monthly weight management clases. I had to get clearance from a few specialties. And attend mandatory support groups. Which in reality, was all great. I learned a lot in the weight management classes and got to see both the good and the bad in the support groups from people who have already done the procedure. The process was a bit long for my liking but very well worth it.

I felt the same way. I went in wanting sleeve but am going gastric due to my health issues. I was really scared but after the classes I had to take it calmed me a bit. I am 4 fays away and I still have those moments where I get a little freaked out. I talk to my support and it helps. I am cheering you on and will send healing energy your way that all goes well.

That's awesome to hear. I'm dreading that I'll have to wait a year to get my date. Of course it's all depends on insurance it sounds like so well see! Good luck to you!

I've done some research on the bypass and it's long term results. I'm pretty confident and at ease about my decision. Best of luck to you on your journey.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
