I'm having my pre-op appointment later today. My choice is the vsg /sleeve, but first I have a few things to get in order in this body. I'm committed and willing to give this 1000% of my effort for the remainder of my life. My bariatritian and I are looking for a January surgery date, but October sounds good too....I'm strong enough to survive the holidays, I'm ready to get my new stomach after all of health is in order. Congrats everyone for being strong enough to share your personal journey and be an encouragement for someone else.

Had my pre-op appointment today and we are aiming for surgery in October ????‍♀️. I'm at 249 and need to get to 235 lbs and get a few more things in order. Starting iron transfusions next week, for the next 4 weeks. I forgot to ask if I can have one meal a day and 2 protein shakes now to help me get down to my goal approval surgery weight. I'm learning from those of you close to surgery.

Congratulations! It will be a great journey, I am in week 6 postop and have never felt better!

I see some stuff about preop diet requirements. I feel extremely lucky they only requirement I have is the day before I can only consume 3 protein shakes and clear liquids. Other then that I just have to maintain my weight lost for preop. I wonder why doctor's are all so different on their preop diet choices...

Wow you are lucky. Ive seen some people that have an entire month! Thankfully mine is only 10 days but its really not that much food so im kinda nervous haha

Late to the party but Joining the Ranks... Revision 7/15 ... Maybe waiting on insurance approvals next week. Its a special kind of Hell to be at goal and still asked to do a 2 week preop diet?. Welp...

I had my pre-op appointment today! I got my labs, EKG, and chest x-ray done. I also got my pre-op diet, post op diet, and surgery instructions. I start pre-op diet on 7/10, and surgery is 7/24. It’s finally starting to feel real!!

I’m all Liquid with 1 protein bar a day for 12 days, last two days ALL Liquid.

My sleeve surgery date is 7/31... I'm so excited and so ready for this life change!!

I also got the 31st for my RNY. However I broke my foot yesterday. I'm praying my foot does not delay my surgery. I meet with foot Dr. on Tuesday. I was so excited, now I'm anxious again [emoji22]

I will! Tomorrow is the prep.. not excited about that at all ?

But so so close!

Has anyone not told their parents? I feel a huge burden like I should tell my mom..but a part of me knows she is going to judge, and I don't really feel like having negative feelings going into it.

Just feels like I am lying though..especially knowing I am going to be in the hospital for a couple days..
