Where are my maryland sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I am feeling pretty good and have been able to sip my liquids and Protein Shakes easily so far! I only stayed in the hospital one night! So glad to sleep in my own bed tonight!!

How are you feeling? Have you lost a lot? I hope all is wonderful. Can't wait to hear about it at the next support group.

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

I was very worried about some unforeseen testing' date=' 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?[/quote']

Well all my pre results were fine... It was once he opened me up on the OR table.... So just in a few months I'm hoping June... Happy birthday to me!

I am even more sorry now. Not good news to come out of anesthesia to.

Keep us updated. I'm glad it's just a bump and not a brick wall.

I am so sorry busybeingme! How disappointing but I trust dr. G has your best interests at heart. I am glad he is saying that you can try again in a few months!!

From St. Mary's county. Had my surgery March 11 at Johns Hopkins Bayview by Dr. Nguyen. Love the doctor, a little let down by the administrative staff.. nice people but they need to get it together.

I am also from St Mary's / Southern Calvert County (work in one, live in the other) and went to JH Bayview last year. I loved the Doctor, but did not care for his staff. Not sure where to go now.

I'm interested to know Md sleevers how has it been since surgery? And what are some of the things that stand out to be mindful about post op? I am waiting for my approval and a tentative date for December 30 with Dr. Singh. I am really anxious waiting and can't wait to be sleeved. How long did it take for you guys to get approval I have BCBS carefirst.

      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.
