My surgery is coming up on November 10th! I am excited and cannot wait. Good luck!

Hi I know I'm pretty early to ask ,but is there anyone getting sleeved in November?

I'm traveling 7th Nov having surgery at the OOC with Dr Ortiz and then traveling back the 14th as he wants you to stay until the drain is out.

Hoping there are some others out there.

I'm scheduled with Dr. Alvarez on November 26th and couldn't be more excited. I wish my work schedule would allow me to move it up a couple of weeks. Anyone else going to be there over Thanksgiving?

My appointment is Nov. 25th with doctor Aceves. I am very happy.

Just thought I'd check in ...

My surgery was last week and I'm just now starting to feel 1/2 normal. My pain is diminishing a little more every day but the exhaustion is just debilitating. In my whole life, I have never taken naps; however, I've been napping a lot in the last seven days. I have had considerable nausea postop but the doc called in some Zofran & a Scopolamine patch for me and I'm feeling better. I do have a drain that I have to have taken out tomorrow so I'll be able to see the MD for a few moments.

In my first week of postop life, I've lost the 12 lbs I gained during hospitalization plus 3 more. So happy to be on the loser's bench with the rest of you!

Best wishes to the other Novembers!

LowCHO, I am so sorry to hear that. I am the same day and I am feeling pretty good. We seem to have the same stats and I am wondering, why did you have a drain?

Good to be a loser, ey

      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.
