One month till I travel to Las vegas for my surgery and two weeks until I start my pre-op diet. Anyone else anxious?

My surgery date is March 3rd for VSG. My pre-op is February 19th. I am so ready for this to happen. I'm so excited to have so many people having surgery at the same time as me!

I wish you good health and strength.Maybe get yourself a support buddy.I notices a few of the folks on this connection have buddies.I do know what you mean.I guess that is why we are all considering surgery as a method..the diets havent in the ling term worked.

Good luck.

Yessss! I'm scheduled for March 2nd. My endoscopy is tomorrow and I start my preop diet on the 18th. I'm so excited and nervous and scared and happy...lol

Mine is on the 3rd of March and I start the diet on the 18th...very excited

OMG mine is the 2nd and I start my diet on the 18th too! Good luck!

I scared and excited!!!! Like, can I get the surgery and then be put to sleep for a year? Lol!

What is everyone doing to mentally prepare? Even though I’m excited and I have no doubt I’m making the right decision, I’m having a lot of anxiety about it.

I totally understand I'm feeling the same way. I'm starting therapy, reading blogs, watching videos on what to take to the hospital. Basically just gorging on everything sleeve related[emoji1]!

March 2nd here! Having some mixed feelings. Ready to get it done but having a lot of doubt that I can be successful long term. Just so many failures at weight control in the past [emoji37]

Hey hey we're sleeve-twins...lol! Yeah Im having the nervous jitters too and the doubts are real. But you can do this. You've come this far and this tool will give you the extra help to make right choices!

Hey Anxious_mumma,

I hope you are well. You will be just fine. I used to work on a Bariatric unit in the hospital as a nurse before I gained weight. It is such a routine and brief surgery. You have a higher risk of passing away from being overweight than from weight loss surgery. The best thing you can do for your daughter is be healthy and alive for her as long as you can. Show her that if you try really hard to do something (like losing weight) that you are not afraid to get help to make sure you reach your goals. Teach her how to love herself by loving yourself. That is what real love is.
