Sorry Kmoore... I got the posts confused I actually meant brittanykins but I still want to add you as a friend if that is ok.

Brittanykins... how was your surgery with Dr. Pirello?

I actually haven't had my surgery yet. I've still got 3 months to spend with the nutritionist before I can get my insurance approval. My meetings with Dr. Pirrello have all gone well so far though.

Hello everyone I'm not in Charlotte but I am in NC....Raleigh. My surgery is scheduled for November 19. Dr Peter Ng at Rex's hospital. I'm nervous too and excited at the same time.

Hey shelleerenee! I'm in Raleigh, too! I was actually sleeved in CLT, though, because I was self-pay so I couldn't afford Rex or Duke. I hope all goes well for you. Have you joined any of the meetup.com WLS support groups? I'm attending my first one this Saturday.

I am meeting with the nutritionist at the end of the month to get started.. How has it been with the nutritionist so far?

Dr Kuwada is doing my surgery as well. I am a little worried because my insurance was approved last week and he doesn't have any dates for surgery available on his calendar. Fingers crossed

I am proud to announce that Dr Kuwada found room for me!!! I am scheduled for Nov. 19th! liquid diet starts Monday! Yaaaayyyyy!!!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
