It slipped within the first week of getting it, but I wasn't having any real problems other than eating anything I wanted, so the dr. didn't believe me.

That was 2007, and he finally did the upper gi as a result of gallbladder issues this past January, and decided that it was, in fact, slipped.

How frustrating. Well I'm glad you are able to have the revision surgery.

23 days until I start per op diet. Nervous about not losing weight on it. I keep saying I am going to start it early but then I decide to wait. I need to start doing a little walking each day but it is so hot and my feet hurt. I am now 304 pounds but I have started to drink Water. I have my endoscopy tomorrow at 1pm. I hope everything looks good.

Hey Everyone! I am new to this forum. I have my surgury planned for August. no official date yet because I am waiting for work to be all squared away. Anyways, I just switched from RNY to sleeve last week! I am a little nervous because I researched RNY so much and do not know a ton about the sleeve. I am going basically on what my surgeon is recommending for me. I trust her though. Anyone else in MA? I am going to St. E's Dr. Pecquex. So yeah thats where I am! Hi!

I downloaded the app to my phone but I probably won't use it until after surgery. I am really not very good at doing things like that but I have to get it in my head to start

:wacko:

Hi all! I'm hoping for an end of August date. My paperwork will be sent insurance probably next week and they usually respond within 2 days. My doctor's nurse told me yesterday she has him scheduled through Aug 9. So I'm hoping for August "new birthday" as well. We'll see. I'll let yall know as soon as I know. I'm addicted to this app on my phone. So much good info on here! I will be having my surgery at ETMC hospital in Tyler, Texas with Dr. Babineau! Love all of his staff! I have about 100 lbs if not more to lose.

      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
