Recommended Posts

When is your surgery? How are you feeling? Who's your doc? My surgery date is 2/13/12 and I fluctuate from ready to go, to really nervous. I'm traveling to Texas to Dr. David Kim. Anyone else using him? :welcome:

I am having surgery on 2/22/12. I am ready for these last weeks to be over with and to be sleeved! I have never been so encouraged and inspired in my life to be healthy! I am traveling from Houston to Mexico to have my surgery with Dr. Ramos Kelly.

Anyone else out there having their surgery with Dr. Kelly the week of February 20th?

WOO HOO!!! I can't wait either!! Getting tense waiting for real estate deal to sign so we can get the funds. It's one hang up after another. I'll cry if I have to put it off!

Feb 13th and it can't come soon enough for me. I am so ready to start this journey to wellness. I am having Dr. Emma Patterson who is Clinic Owner, Surgeon and Medical Director of the Legacy Good Samaritan Weight Management Institute of Oregon do my surgery. I started this process in Nov of 2010 when I went to one of her seminars, then it took me 4 months to do some research and get up the nerve to fill out their lengthy application....then there were all the different tests and scans and poking and prodding but here I am today ready and willing to get this done.

We're sleeve sisters! I'm 2/6 too!

I'm getting sleeved at Community Hospital by Dr. Howard Simon in Upstate NY. I am SOOOO ready to go! It took me almost ten years of research to finally pick the right surgery, doctor, and hospital. Now that I finally made the choice I can not wait! I'm especially excited because I thought it would be at least June before I got my surgery. I can't believe from the beginning of the process until surgery it will have been less than 3 months for me!

I'm about to bust with excitement, but I can't quite get happy until these STOOPID real estate papers are signed and our property is officially sold. No money, no surgery. WAAAHHH!!! The tension is killing me!!! Now there are roof problems with the building we are selling, and they have to be resolved before closing. It's going to cut it down to the wire. I'm hoping I don't have to move my date. :( (weep weep)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
