Hello! I'm new to this forum and I'm super nervous and excited about my VSG journey. I started my journey on May 6th and yesterday I received a surgery date..December 8th.

Looking for some ideas on how to explain the procedure to my children. I'm open to any suggestions you guys may have.

Hi there, I'm new as well. My surgery is scheduled for December 22nd. I'm scared, nervous and excited. You'll have to keep us posted post surgery. I have my appointment with a dietitian tomorrow. Hope you find answers. I love this forum.

Hi there, I am new here too. My surgery date is December 14th. Very excited, and nervous!

I didn't expect to feel this nervous, as I have been working towards this for a long time.

Hi,

I started my journey on September 17th and just got a surgery date for December 2nd. ?Happy but scared.

That's awesome! We'll have to keep each other encouraged.

Everyone is telling me to start taking pre-surgery photos now to document my progress afterwards. Not looking forward to that ?

I’m scheduled for 12/13, but having bypass . Excited to see others preparing for December as well!

Me! ?‍♀️

Surgery scheduled for 12/6. Have to start my pre-op liquid diet on Thanksgiving. I guess I can sacrifice one holiday! Excited to finally move forward but sometimes reading some of these boards end up making me feel more nervous!
