That's great, my decision came down to how many he does a day and his recovery house, im glad to hear he changed the recovery place though that's probably why he was more the when my friend went. I'm glad you had a great experience, happy weight loss :)

Brenda I'm scheduled for surgery on the 28th of this month. So your complete recovery was at the hotel? I thought they had a house you went to for recovery. I was only told the first night was at the special rate. I am excited and can't wait. I've waited for this for 3 years!

I was very worried about coming to this doctor beacuase of the online boards having so many bad things to say about it but honestly now that im here im glad I did. Someone said after she paid her miney the corrdinator stop calling and I will say thats definatly not what happend to me. They calld to chek on me so many times I started screening there calls They were very nice and took care of all my needs.

Congratulations and welcome to VST! You will find it very helpful and uplifting to be here. I was sleeved Dec. 6' date=' 2012 and I am still a newbie here but I have gained some knowledge and found comfort from the people here. I live in a small town where there is no access to support groups so this is my support. It has been very helpful. Good luck on your journey and remember, don't get discouraged - get busy and enjoy life![/quote']

      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.
