I am going to have to find out when they are. I did not really know about them. I have been seeing Dr Gandass since September. I had to have 6 months for my insurance.

I just has my sleeve on feb 20th by Dr. Gandsas. Everything went fine! I came home on the 21st and I'm doing pretty good. AAMC does have a support group that meets once a month. Not sure what the dates are.

Hi

I am getting sleeve with Dr Gandsas on May 8th. I love the support group. I have met many AAMC employees who have had sleeve or GBP with Dr. gandsas.

I'm ready for surgery now, but he is so busy it takes 2-3 months to get on the surgery schedule. I qualified for a March/early April date.

Love Arianne, but sometimes Jeannete kinda scares me. :)

Well due to other health complications I was not able to have a my sleeve. I'm sad but Gandsas said we can still do my surgery once I'm all through the woods with this..

I am so sorry!!! I'm sure you are incredibly frustrated.

I was very worried about some unforeseen testing, but I got my results and everything came out ok.

Did dr g give you an idea of what you need to do, and when he can reschedule?

      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. 🤞
