Glad to meet you Brandy, I was called today to schedule my surgery but found out that the doctor only does surgeries every other week and I work 7 days on then 7 days off & guess what those are all my work weeks. Very frustrated now! Not sure what to do really don't want to have to miss work.. I have no sick days, Very upsetting !!! So glad for you though!!! Let me know when you get scheduled. Happy Sleeving!!

So happy for you! I am scheduled with Dr Malley at New Hope Surgical Center in Overland Park. Did you loose weight before surgery? If so how much if you don't mind sharing.

You will love him! I haven't had Abby complications at all..not even vomiting!! I highly suggest you take a few gas x pills the night before surgery to keep from getting the shoulder gas pain....it makes all of the difference in the world!! Good luck to you!!

My surgery is quickly approaching..I can hardly believe it!! My journey started last August and now it's almost here!! I get sleeved this Wednesday, March 13, at Prairie Star at 11:30 am by Dr. Hamilton. I'm getting nervous, but I watched the surgery online by Dr. Hoehn and that actually put me at ease some. Can someone walk me through what I should expect from the moment arrive to when I get discharged. Also...what prescription pain meds do they give you....I forgot. Thank you all in advanced for the great information on this site.

      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.

      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.
