Saginaw Michigan here. I was sleeved on 5-29-12. As of today I am down 25 lbs post op. (just over 4 weeks) and a total of 39.5 pre and post. I was sleeved at Hurley in Flint by Dr. Farhan. Loving it so far. Knocking wood but so far no complications at all. Feeling good!

Lori my surgery will be at hurley with dr.farhan also. It seems like hes pretty much an expert. I am a litte worried though, because I have a few acquaintances from nursing school who work on the burn unit/bariatric icu at Hurley and they all say they would never get the surgery. They also say the bariatric patients are treated poorly. How was your experience there? I assume my surgery will be in September as I just have to do my psych appointment next week and then I'm done with my requirements. I'm happy to have found someone who had dr. Farhan and is happy with him :)

      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.
