Dec 5th is coming right up! Hope you get a date soon! I'm doing good. Minimal problems. Just getting used to eating so slow and so little. Was at the gym tonight and was on the treadmill, thirsty. I went to take a drink of Water, forgot for a brief second that I have the sleeve and took a big sip. I had such an uncomfortable feeling in my chest. Have t take small sips :-) Other than that, not bad at all. I'm down 27lbs. Little over 3 weeks

That's awesome that 27 lbs is gone so fast! I called MGH yesterday and after I meet with the surgeon I can begin the support groups and get approval. I honestly can't wait. I want this so bad. Hoping when I open my pool this summer ill be a lot happier in a bathing suit!

Good luck George!!! I would do anything just to have a surgery date' date=' so i'm super jealous. All you MGH'ers.....how long did the whole process take? they seem to be pretty busy so I was curious what the timeline was like for some of you....[/quote']

I am from the South Shore area too and I was sleeved on August 15 at the Brigham. I've lost just under 35 lbs so far and feel great. If I can answer any questions for you let me know!

Katie, I also had my surgery August 15 th 2012 at Brigham by dr Scott shiroka. I was on the 15 floor we would have been there the same time. They kept me for two half weeks after surgery. How are u doing with it?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
