I Got my Surgery Date!!!



Recommended Posts

Yay!!! Super excited, and very nervous of course. It's gonna happen though.. Sept. 14th with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali.

Revision here we come!

I really can't wait, I've been wanting to start over again for a very long time.

So, out with the old and in with the new. Instead of a Bandiversary, I'll now have a Sleeversary. I hope I will Celebrate this day now instead of cursing it. :scared0:

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Jordien, Tiffy!! I absolutely 100% know this is the right choice for me! I know, because I made it all by myself. I was not given that choice with the band. All I knew was my insurance covered the Band and RNY. I couldn't have RNY because I was already nutrient deficient and blood Iron anemic. I think RNY could likely have killed me.

So, I'm getting all my preparations in order and I hope this next three or so weeks goes super fast!!!! :)

Thanks everyone!!

Mila, its cool to have someone to share similar experiences with - especially revisionaries!! :)

I actually for the first time, today started to think about how fast 3 weeks will go by, and then got the butterflies a little bit. I also got it a little bit when I called the hotel to set up reservations for my Mom who will be going with me. Scary!!!!!

      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.
