Hi there,

I had my surgery on Oct 1st my surgeon was Dr. Zeni and I'm doing well still a little sore but for the most part I'm happy with the outcome. My total weight lost is 25lbs to date this is pre and post surgery weight loss combined. Good luck everyone!!! :)

Hi nune,

If you look up at the top you can search for "almanza" there are several people on these boards who have used him. That should give you some input on him.

Good luck in your search!

Well I'm one week post-op today. Today hasn't really been a good day, I just feel blah and my tummy feels FULL!! Yesterday was a good day, walked got 85/95 grams of Protein and almost all my Fluid. So I wonder if I am paying for that today. My first follow up appointment is tomorrow so we shall see what happens. Still giving myself Lovenox injections for another 5 days. I switched to Flintstones Vitamins because the ones from the doctors office makes me sick!! I am taking my chewable Iron which doesn't seem to upset my tummy.

Anyway...I hope for everyone that was sleeved today it went well. And good luck to all the soon to be sleevers!!!

Btw....I am not feeling hungry, but I am so ready to have real food (even if it is pureed) and not liquids!!!

        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
