9/11. Counting down the days until it's here and feeling underprepared and overstressed

My VSG surgery is 9/26 and I am excited and nervous at the same time. I will start my liquid diet 9/11. Thanks for creating this thread as I need some surgery buddies to vent too 😩🥰

I started my journey 1/27/2023 and 8 months later I am finally having my surgery. When did you all start your Journey?

After almost 10yrs fighting with different insurances, I was approved for surgery June 2022, took a mandatory 10wk educational course that started that August, and FIIIIINALLY got scheduled mid August of THIS year. I will be having surgery a week from today, September 15th

It really is! I've lost (and gained and lost again) 100lbs since I started this whole thing, but I have PCOS and "fat folk genes" as my PCP says 😂

I know Now that if I had been approved for surgery 10 years ago, I likely would have not done very well or would have been someone that lost the weight but ended up having a drinking problem or something. The last few years has really given me a lot of time to regroup my mind, heel childhood trauma, and figure out exactly why I use food as a coping mechanism.
