Congratulations! Be sure and keep us posted on your progress. Everyone here is so supportive, it can really help through any rough spots... but lets just hope you don't have any of those :confused:

Congrats! March 8th will come very quickly! Where are you having your surgery at? Do you have to do a pre-op diet?

I'm waiting (impatiently!) to schedule a date, but I'm hoping for early March.

Good Luck!

Thanks girls for the support !! I am having my surgery in Monmouth County NJ....DR Boreo. He really seems to prefere by-pass but after our conversation he knew i had made the right decision for me. He seems to lean toward by -pass for those who are in a big hurry and wanting fast results. So I felt very confident with him after our first meeting. I have my date but not the final ok from insurance so i am holding my breath for that one !! So far they have told me not to worry that horizon B/S & B/C are band friendly !! Count down time !!

Good Luck! My daughter and I are having ours done this coming Friday in Monterrey, Mexico. My insurance doesn't cover anything to do with weight loss....it's ALL COSMETIC..yeah right! Anyway, I'm forking out the bucks but hey...if it works as well for us as it has for all the others I've been reading about, it will be MORE than worth it...my dad's inheritance will be well spent :P

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers...will keep you posted on our surgery and progress.

Linda

pre-op....but soooon.... 6 days and counting :rolleyes:

      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.
