Having surgery two days sooner than set date!



Recommended Posts

My doctor's office scheduler called and asked me if I would be okay with pushing my surgery date from Wednesday, May 4th to Monday the 2nd instead and

I said YESSSSSSSS. I am so ready for this and this is awesome news for me! The reason is my surgeon hurt her neck so she's on medical leave.

I will have another surgeon, but he works in the same office of surgeons and I have heard good things about him.

Just wanted to share with you guys my excitment. This will be the FIRST Monday I have ever looked forward to :)

Thanks, Marcia! Well it is almost here. A few more hours and I will be at the hospital waiting to get banded. Congratulations on your set date! I remember the day the doctor's office called me and said I was approved, I was the happiest person alive. Then when I got my surgery date, I was able to relax and know that the hard work and jumping through hoops with insurance company was worth it.

And now, it's here! I know what you mean..I have been counting down days and hours lol. I will come back and definitely share with you my experience. Please let me know if you have any questions so far.

I am also a May 2nd "bander!" I would love to hear how your first week is going. Mine has been very eye opening. Anxious to get back to work next week and see what happens!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
