Hi everyone I was just approved for VSG. I’m waiting on a call back from my surgeon with the official surgery date. I am looking to have it done the second weeks of December. I am so nervous and scared and excited!!! I also keep second guessing myself and thinking if I’ll chicken out and just not do it. I really really really want this done because at this point there is nothing I have not tried to loose the weight. I am scared of failing I guess. I’ve lost almost 20lbs since I began my appts to get this done. I am on a daily injection to suppress my appetite which was a big contributor.

If you are a fellow December surgery let’s lean on each other throughout our recovery!

My anesthesiologist gave me something for the anxiety. I didn’t care by the time I hit the OR doors. It’s going to go great! I’m a little over 2 weeks post op and I don’t regret it.

Haha I’m definitely asking for something as soon as I get there ?

Good luck! And see ya on the other side. ?

Good luck! prayers for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery ?????

Hey! I had my surgery on 12/4/19 and lost 22lbs my first week, this week I've stalled. Feeling discouraged but continuing to follow my post-op diet. SO tired of protein shakes and broth!

Think of it as 11lbs lost each week! If you lost 22lbs every week, eventually you'd disappear ?

Just found out insurance approved me! I'm SOOOO relieved as I was really worried.

5:15am tomorrow... what time are all the other 12/18 sleevers that are around here? Anyone else nervous AF? Haha idk why this surgery is getting me so rattled vs previous

Hopefully I won’t wake up from anesthesia telling everyone to take Jell-O shots like I did from the scope hahaha ??‍♀️ (never even had one before haha)

I have to be at the hospital at 7:30, surgery is at 9:30 tomorrow (12/18) and I’m am also nervous AF!

I have to be at the hospital by 6:15 tomorrow morning. I’m not really nervous yet, however, I feel like I will be when I wake up in the morning. ? Good luck to all of my surgery twins! We got this!! ?

I had mine on the 9th and doing great! The worse part was waiting in recovery to go to a regular room as I wanted to get out of the bed and sit up! I slept on the Recliner in the room as it was more comfortable. Good luck to all the upcoming surgeries! It was the best decision of my life!

Anyone else having surgery 12/23? Looking for a twin to share with. Maybe all the doc's but mine took off for the holiday )

I'm having mine 12/23 as well. My fiancee just had it done yesterday. Happy holidays to us!

Yeah, a surgery twin! Congratulations to you and your fiancee. Hope you both will share your story as we move forward. I will be coming g ba k to post mine for sure.

I had my sleeve on 12/2 and my wife followed a week later on 12/9. It's actually very supporting to be eating from the "same menu".

I agree. Hubby and I were on the same day. Meal planning is so much easier

My surgery is Friday at 1!! Getting super nervous! I’m super excited for the changes after though 

Take pictures!! The left is 6 days post op, the right is 16 days post op. I didn’t notice a difference until I compared the pics.
