Hi I'm From St. Cloud Mn.



Recommended Posts

After finding out that I'm approved for the sleeve I came on here for support. Im 25 and have been big all my life. So I want to change that now that I have a child who is 4.

I was curious to see if ne one else from my area was on here. I go see the dietition today, to do a weigh in and get a date of when I'm starting my 2-week liquid diet. My surgery date is for July 12th. I've been waiting since September, just glad everything is moving along now sick of waiting around. Just gotta loose 10lbs.

That's great, I think this site is awesome, since not many people know about this surgery first hand like us on here. There's over 80 people in my town that r waiting or just getting a surgery date, the only surgeon left last year so I've been waiting since September for my day to come. Finally got a surgeon from the University of Minnesota.

Hello! I'm not in St.Cloud but I am in Minneapolis. I went to school in St.Cloud and my husband is from St.Cloud so we are up there quite a bit visiting his family! =) Who is your surgeon? Are you having it done at St.Cloud Hospital?

Dr. Ikramiddan and yes its in st. Cloud,my surgery is next Thursday the 12th can't wait, he wanted me to lose 20lbs before the 12th and I was like no way there's no way I can lose 20lbs in a month. Lol but I got 2 months to do it so I lost 9lbs one month and I have 4lbs to lose by the 12th.

      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
