Tomorrow morning for me...nervous on the one hand but ok with it all. Pre-op Optifast for 4 weeks now so really looking forward to ANYTHING different! Although that may not be how I feel afterwords. Have to be at the hospital for 6am..ughh..why do doctors want to get up that early? Here we go..

Just had my last visit with my surgeon, on day 1 of low calorie diet, definitely going to struggle on this. Surgery Date is the 30th anyone else having it that day or am I the last person on this group to have it done?

How is everyone doing that had surgery last week? I’m feeling pretty good today. Have all my Water and food cups set up for the day with my timers set. Sept 279.5, Nov 7 255, (surgery nov 14) nov 19 236.00. I’m elated. I’m hoping for new year 199 but might be asking for to much there lol. Hope everyone is coping well

My surgery date is Nov28 . I’m so glad to have you to talk to. My family is totally against this surgery. They won’t talk to me about the surgery even though my daughter had it 5 years ago and is doing well. They are afraid for me . My husband died of cancer 13 years ago and they think I’m risking my life with this surgery. I have a lot of medical conditions due to my obesity. I don’t want fat to kill me . All of my doctors are in total agreement that I should have this surgery. They know I have tried everything else to loose weight. You guys are the best . Thank you for letting me vent . ❤️

My family not supportive either but you have to do what you need to do. They don’t walk in your shoes. I’m waiting for surgery now, just saw the doctor, who is running 2 hours late but said he watch the procedure on YouTube last night, so guess we are good. My son dropped me off 6 hours ago but is heading back to be here while I’m in surgery. I’m 67, have had 14 major surgeries, and need both knees replaced. I’m doing this so that that surgery goes well and to keep the burden off the knees and back. You’ve got this

Thank you so much . I just needed to hear your kind words . And you are right. The pain I face on a daily basis is unbelievable. I have knee problems and back problems as well. I’m also a senior. So it is so nice to hear from someone one else who is in my generation 😂 It has been a long 51/2 months of not having anyone to talk too . Thank you again Linda 🥰

Tomorrow I am off to the Dr. to get my stitches out! I get them out 2 days early due to my 2 week post op falling on Thanksgiving. I am excited for this appointment and have lots of good questions lined up for him. As of this morning i am down a total of 27.6 pounds and 7.6 since surgery. I am OK with this for two reasons.. Today i had to take Swift Kriss for Constipation LOL.. So i hope it kicks in before morning. Also, I gained 13.6 during surgery. I am not sure if there is anymore surgery swelling to drop or not. Either way for a few days, once i hit break even ( Thursday-1 week post op) then it dropped almost 2.5 pounds for 2 days in a row and then 1.8 and 1.2.. I am sure it will balance out somewhere and shouldn't be more than a pound a day i would think. Will see all what he says tomorrow.

Tomorrow's my day. I'm just ready to start this next phase. I'm worried about reflux, but I'd rather have heartburn and weigh 100 lbs less.

My surgery is tomorrow. I'm 62yo. Extra weight caused some problems with my health. I'm looking forward to my VSG! I took 6 weeks from work for recovery.
