Hi all - I'm in Lexington and was sleeved on 12/21 by Dr. Weiss (Bluegrass Bariatrics).

Knock on wood, I've had absolutely zero complications and have lost 60 lbs total, 13 of which were pre-op. I'm feeling really great physically although I do seem to be much more easily irritated by minor annoyances since surgery. I'm working on that....hopefully my body and hormones are as well. :)

Tiffy - I'm also on MyFitnessPal and will add you.

Hi! I was. Sleeved Feb. 18, 2013 in Georgetown, by Dr. Weiss. I am down 35 pounds. 13 were before surgery. I am feeling great. Can't wait to get more off. Just losing that much has made feel so much better. I do have some problems with eating some foods and keeping them down. chicken does work at all for me right now nor does baked potatoes.

I'm from Somerset, KY and Dr. Weiss will be doing my surgery. I have three more month of my supervised diet before they submit to my insurance. Anyone else have the 6 month diet? And how long after you finished and were approved did they schedule you for surgery? I also have to have the scope done. Do they do that pretty quickly and get you into surgery ?

I was sleeved 12/21/2011. Dr. Weiss at Central Baptist in Lexington. He is great...easy on the eyes too. lol Too bad post-op all I see is his PA. I have had nothing but a wonderful experience. I'm still learning what to eat and what not to eat even at 16 months out.

      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.
