Surgery in three DayS!!



Recommended Posts

Good luck with your PCP, I told mine before surgery and he was super supportive, wanted to see me at 4 weeks. I went at 4 weeks, and the medical office had changed staff around, and my old PCP had left the practice, the new guy was an a$$ so, I had to search for another Dr. I also live in the boonies....

I did find one that was supportive and actually was so happy about it. She asked me for information on surgery so she could possibly pass on info for others who asked her about surgery.

I love it when Drs. are open to "new" procedures and to us taking charge of our bodies.

Good luck with your PCP.

joanie, thanks that is comforting. To be honest i do not know exactly if i'm getting the plication or not they just tole me gastric sleeve. My surgery is on a thursday and they are keeping me in the hospital until monday, because i live so far away. I hope they actually let me leave the hospital because if they keep me inside the whole time, i think i will go crazy. Well at least there is a mental hospital right there in the same building. Lol :)

Hi...thank you for answering me so soon..at least I dont feel so alone! I dont have a fever..just a littled chilled. Otherwise, I feel absolutely wonderful!! I have decided to make an appointment with my [primary care provider just to give her the 411 on the surgery..give her all of the info that I recieved so they understand from this point on that my body has changed. I am kind of nervous about that...I live in hickville not sure how accepting they will be about me flying to Mexico for surgery but oh well...lol..they really dont wanna mess with me hehe..

Thanks

K

Hi K. Glad you are home and feeling good. Going to see your doctor is a great idea. I live in hixville too, but when I spoke to my doctor about Mexico before I made my final decision to stay in The States, she was just fine with it. She did tell me to look them on some website that I can't remember and couldn't maneuver my way around. I think you had to be a member. Anyway, welcome home and to your new 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.
