I'm August 9th. Getting nervous, but mostly for the actual procedure because I've never had surgery or stayed in the hospital before

Hi everyone! This is my first post on this forum. I'm scheduled for a sleeve on August 16. My doctor doesn't require a specific pre-op diet, they just recommended losing some weight (and not gaining over starting weight) over the course of the 6-month doctor-supervised diet plan. I'm happy to be here, and finally taking my health seriously :)

Don't worry. :) Since the stomach anatomy is changed by the procedure it's helpful for medical staff to know this if something were to happen and you were unable to speak for yourself. It also alerts them to meds you should avoid.

So my gastric sleeve is scheduled for August 1st. my husband and I are driving to Texas the day before and surgery is in the very early morning. I am getting very nervous. I only been doing a 7 week pre op diet because the first week of preop I was bad girl. I thought it would be my last time eating my favorite foods and I ended up gaining 4 pounds. But wls is not the end of the road for eating your favorite foods. I figured that out on my own and I began my preop late but the big thing I started it and I lost a little weight. The most important thing is making sure my liver has been shrinking and with the little weight loss, I am sure it has shrunk. it does not take long for that.

I know you are nervous, as I am, it is going to be a great journey, youre going to get your life back. We got this chica!!!
How has your pre op diet been going? As you previously read, my sucked but I hoped back on the band wagon and my surgery is on 3 days omg!!
I can't wait to hear how it went for you today. I hope all went well

And yesterday we had two couples @Brenda1723 and@afakasiwife. I think that would really be a very nice thing, to start out together on a post-surgical path!👪

Just got to the hospital. I’m super nervous. Other than the excess weight I’m pretty healthy so I’m low risk for complications but still nervous.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
