Recommended Posts

Ohhh, I didn't know we have to give ourselves shots of blood thinners... not looking forward to that (blah)

I had my surgery yesterday and they gave me the shots after I was already out. I thought they might not do it so I asked and they said yah they had given them to me but they waited until I was under. I was really glad about that.

I am set for the 11 th. Had to redo the EKG today. The leads were inverted the first time, giving me an abnormal result. I am ready to go.

Are all these tests for insurance based? I'm just curious because they never gave me an EKG but I'm also self pay...

why is it that some doctors only want one or two days of a liquid diet and some want two weeks or more? I don't get it.

I asked them the same question. Mine is only 2 days and I am on the end of my day 1. I feel like I'm about to pass out, I am SO hungry. I am so thankful that I don't have to do this for two weeks. They told me that Dr.Naim only has us do 2 days, because he doesn't want us to feel weak for the surgery. I already feel weak after day one...can't IMAGINE 2 weeks. =/

I am self-pay, and I had an EKG done in the office. But everything is included in my price plus a year of fills and free checkups. I would ask them to verify.

I was banded with hernia repair yesterday. I have been walking off and on all morning. Gas pain is going away. Overall I am feeling pretty good. Good luck to all getting banded today.

My surgery date is June 12th! I am super excited! Although I'm nervous about the four days of liquids BEFORE surgery. I just know that I'm going to be starving! Ugh! But I am so excited to FINALLY be banded in 6 more days! I have wanted this for years, and never thought that I would be able to get it. Thank you God for another chance at life :)

      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.
