This was my experience , got to the clinic and they brought me to the pre op room had me change to a gown and sit in a chair with a warm blanket , the doctors came in and introduced themselves then the nurse brought me to the OR I got on the table they numbed my hand put in the IV which I did not feel next thing I knew I was in recovery

For me, they took me into pre-op had me change into lovely hospital attire, and scrub my tummy with some wipes. They than hooked up a warming blanket and started and IV. Than a more papers to sign and the anesthesiologist came to visit, he even told me a couple jokes! Finely my surgeon came in along with her assistant and before you knew it off to the OR. I was in pre op about 2 & 1/2 hours before surgery. But it all went rather quickly. Once in the OR they put a mask over my face and the next thing I knew I was in recovery. Hope that puts you at ease. It all went smooth as can be. Only found out in pre op that my insurance required I spend he night. All was smooth and easy on my end. So glad I did this! Blessings to you for a perfect outcome!

      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. 🤞
