So did I Kathy... When was your surgery?

How did you like St Vincent's?

\

My surgery was on November 7.

I have mixed feelings regarding St Vincents, The surgeon was great, the surgery went extremely well. The hospital staff at night was awesome, the day staff seems rather busy and I didnt see them much. One thing that really bothered me, was about a week after surgery, I had a fever after office hours, and I called the hospital operator (as directed) to have the PA call me back, I never was called back, when I questioned this at the next visit, I found out that another patient had the same issue, with not being called back

I'm glad I didn't choose St. Vincent's! My brother in law had his surgery there a few years ago and tried to talk me into it!

I think you made a good choice with Parma. They're a Center Of Excellence. Everyone there is always nice and helpful.

I think so too! I went for pre- op testing today and they nurses couldn't find a vein. They stayed calm the whole time and worked together without losing their patience which is nice!

Euclid here! Finished preop requirements and am waiting for appointment with the surgeon. Now I have to keep my weight off before the surgery - not easy with the holidays!

      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.
