June 5Th Surgery - Looking For Some Pals!



Recommended Posts

Just got my new surgery date moments ago.. My original date was May 23rd. I chose to change it because my husband’s is tomorrow May 16th and I wanted to be able to help him with his recovery.. So my new date is JUNE 5th!!! I start my liquid diet on June 1st. I wish all the best!! ADD ME AS A FRIEND SO WE CAN KEEP IN TOUCH

Hey Nikki, I hope your hubby feels better soon and makes a quick recovery so he can help you thru your surgery! Prayers to you both.

Hi everyone ! I just received my referral and I'm in my way to my first appointment with dr. choi @ montifiore hospital in bronx New York. I'm so happy but very very scared , I've never had surgery before and this scares me a lot although your stories and experiences keep me motivated and positive. Hopefully by September (which is my birth month) ill be approved. I'm definitely leaning more towards VSG being that my family has a history of Colon issues. I've been over weight all my life and now 38 and tired of feeling sorry for myself. Not only do I want to look good but I want to feel good as well. I think what worries the most too is the long term with VSG. Anyway any advice would be greatly appreciated and opps almost forgot , I'm 318 pounds and i want to know if anyone weighing this much has gotten VSG and how many pounds have they lost? Thanks so much for all your help & support and congrats to the ones on the losers side!!! :)

        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.

      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
