I don't have a set date yet but I will be done with my 3 month Dr supervised diet in Feb. I should also have all my testing out the way by then too.

I'm sure you are excited and nervous!

I am hoping to have my sleeve in February also. I have my pre-op visit on 1/5/2011. I have to coordinate things with my daughter for time off since I keep her babies while she works. But eveyrthing should be taken care of in order to have my surgery in February. Excited, nervous, ready to have it behind me and moving downward in my weight. I have tried every kind of diet, workouts, starving, etc for thirty years. Nothing worked. If it did it was temporary and I have gained the same 40 lbs over five times now. Ready to have control of my life again. Ready to feel better. Ready to be off of medication for arthritis, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, by cpap which I wear at night for sleep apnea. See this is a good decision because I am a mess and only getting worse. I need all of you help, encouragement, and stories to help me through this. This is a wonderful website and unless you have been through it, you cannot know what it going on. Thanks to everyone for your support, kindness, and love as I move through this journey to join all you skinny people.

YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Hi Sadie,

I too am planning my sleeve with Dr.Kelly this coming February 2011. I've been

hoping to find someone else using this surgeon as well. I haven't decided on the exact

date as of yet, but maybe we could be "sleeve buddies". :-) Let me know what you think and I'll get

back to you later (cause I'm at work but wanted to reply to your post) haha.:rolleyes:

Hey Miters that sounds like a plan to me! I am so excited now that I switched Doctors. I was going to use Dr. Almanza Reyes but backed out because it just didn't feel right to me and I want this to be a happy experiance . I am having surgery the 21st so who ever goes first can keep the other posted . Glad ya found me

I am hoping to have my sleeve with Dr. Kelly sometime around January 10th, depending on if I can round up the $6300 during this crunch time of year. If I can not get it saved up then I will have to go sometime in February. Nice to know there are others who understand, are going through the same things, and will be there if I need someone to talk to.

I go in January for a pre-op. I will need my gall bladder removed, band to VSG revision. I am hoping (pretty certain) for a February date. Dr. Blaney in Augusta will be doing mine.

      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. 🤞
