Hi, so glad to see some SC people on here! My husband and I both will be having VSG with Dr. Jason Johnson. We don't have surgery dates yet, but we are jumping thru hoops now. We already had our initial consultations, 6 weeks of supervised diet, meeting to go over medical records, and have appts for psyche, exams, and endoscopies in the next couple of weeks. Anyone here had surgery by Dr. Johnson in Spartanburg?

I had Dr. Anderson in Greenville. Not sure is who Dr. Johnson is, but good luck to you both! Every day is an adventure through this journey. I am now down 102 pounds, 6 months out of surgery! It was so worth it!

      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.
