I was denied 2 times and finally approved to get my sleeve! I have do many emotions balled up inside right now! But one question ?? How long are you in the hospital if everything goes good? So I can make plans for my children. I've waited for over a year to get this done and I'm like 2 weeks away :)

My surgery date is also the 27. I'm nervous but very excited. I've wanted to do this for three years and for various reasons I'm just now taking care of me:) my Dr. Says one to two nights in hospital. I wish you the best of luck!

I would plan for 2 nights. It is possible that you may only need 1 night. I needed 2 nights my BP was a bit high, once they figured out they weren't giving me the correct dosage of BP meds they let me go.

My Dr has me on a 12 day Protein shack diet, called Bariatric Advantage. Its has been hard with no real food. I broke down tonight and had two eggs.< img src="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/default_sad.png" alt=":(" srcset="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Don't beat yourself up we are only human... Just try and listen to your dr he has your best interest! I asked my dr why every dr has a different approach to this preop diet an he stated besides to shrink the liver.... It is for you to get maximum weight loss for your personal self before surgery! Best of luck to all of yous! Excited for this tool to use onto. A healthy lifestyle change ;)

      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.
