Hi I'm in reading. I was planning on the sleeve, but now my dr recommended bypass due to reflux. So now I'm going crazy trying to find out more about bypass. I was so focused on the sleeve. Hope it goes well or you.

My dr recommended the same thing, as I had horrible reflux. I knew from the start I didn't want the bypass though. I still went with the sleeve, and I couldn't be happier. It's been almost 9 months, I'm down 100 lbs, I still take prilosec daily as a preventative measure, but reflux hasn't been an issue.

Hi everyone. I am getting sleeved on Thursday, Nov 29 in Harrisburg at Community Hospital. Dr DiMarco from Pinnacle Weight Loss Center is performing

Operation. So far Pre op has been a breeze. It is getting so close, only a couple of days, many mixed feelings but mostly anxious for results. I started at my high

Of 307, dropped to 302 and now two days prior I am at 295. I am looking forward with a positive outlook to a new life with dealing with food responsibly.

I had Dr. Ceppa and yes, I live in the area... Exeter to be precise. I would love to have someone to talk and walk with! I feel amazingly better today, but it's been a little rough up to this point. How about you? Tell me all!

Done! But I haven't told anyone, nor do I intend to tell anyone, that I've had this done, so please don't mention it on my timeline. :)

We have a mutual friend... My son's girlfriend!

        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!

      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
