June Sleever's Compilation - Good Luck & Well Wishes



Recommended Posts

Oh June sleevers! I've had possibly the worse possible thing happen. The anesthesiologist could easily get me intimated. After multiple tries he succeeded but then administered steroids to reduce the swelling. This is unacceptable for this type of surgery so my procedure was cancelled. When I woke u they told me and I burst into tears. I'm now trying to either reschedule with my surgeon here, reschedule where he prefers to go and have the insurance pick up my 20%. Please pray for me. I feel like my whole world is shattered.

Giselle,

I am truly sorry you had to have this happen to you. As the others have posted on here to you, I'm glad that they did not continue and that you're okay! Know that you're in my prayers on this.

It will be better for you.

Eric

Giselle,

You're using Dr. Kim; did this happen at Forrest Park Medical Center?

Thank you all! You are the only ones who can truly understand how painful this is for me.

Dad, I'm using UHC's Center of Excellence in Decatur. It's the only UHC COE he goes to. I'm trying to get rescheduled with Dr. Kim at Forest Park and just pay 20%. He's not coming back to this facility until July and I don't want to come back at all. But let me say everyone here has treated me SO professionally and compassionately. But now I'm gun shy. And this hospital is an hour from my house, Forest Park is 15 min.

Oh Honey, I am so very sorry! What in the heck was that idiot thinking? He should have known better! What did your surgeon say? Is he willing to get you in ASAP at FP? What kind of hoops do you have to jump thru w/the insurance.

If you can get it taken care of at Forrest Park, closer to home, maybe it's a Blessing in disguise. We'll just hope for all the absolute best in this.

Lots of hugs. Keep us posted!!!

MamaM I agree this could end up being a blessing in disguise. I talked to my husband at length tonight and he fully supports me getting over to FP. Thanks to you and all my sleeve family for the encouragement and getting me through a very difficult day.

      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.
