Having my sleeve done on the 28th and being scoped on the 18th. I think I'm more nervous about the scope than the surgery itself. Anyone else in the same boat?

My surgery is the 28th as well. No scoping for me though! Why are you having it done?

Yes, the endoscopy. Does it depend on aspects of your health history?

I needed an endoscopy as part of my pre-op testing. They found 2 polyps on my stomach that they gave medicine for no biggie. They put me under, I remember nothing but waking up and telling the nurse she had a great haircut lol. My throat was a little sore the rest of the day but that's all. I'm a total baby. I

Ok, so it's routine in some practices. I haven't heard a word about it from either my PCP or my surgeon. Interesting......

I will be having surgery on March 29th. Happy to finally have insurance authorization. I'm excited, but I also anticipate some nervousness as the date approaches.

Good luck to you both!

Mine is part of pre-op testing. Along with a stress test.

My surgery is scheduled or March 18. It was originally scheduled or the 11th but had a little hiccup with my secondary insurance. So they had to push it back a week I am so excited just a few more days to go!!! I started this process January 2012 so it has been a long year.

I did pre-admit at the hospital on Tuesday! They ran all sorts of test which I assume where fine as I haven't heard anything back from the doctor!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
