Well' date=' RNYers are not in the VSG clique. We are special and spiffier. You would have to pay someone off to get back in. ;)[/quote']

No....I REALLY thought this was serious. My mind was working fast and furious thinking I would have to keep repeating myself all the way to surgery...SLEEVE...MAKE SURE IT'S A SLEEVE!. Then I kept following the thread and I was thinking "boy these are heartless responses" and then the "DUH" moment hit and I started laughing. Nice one. Count me as "Got her "

Yea, I got GOT too! And I even posted something before I read the entire thread!!! Geez....

Not sure this is 100% true.

Some of us swear we were dumping after high sugar or high fat;moreover, it is more of a problem the closer to DOS you are.

For example, I ate some ham at 6 weeks. No, not the Turkey ham, but real ham that is kind of fatty. I did not realize it was going to be an issue when eating it at a diner.

After a few minutes, I was sweating, dizzy, felt like vomiting, got diarrhea. I believe this was a dumping experience for me. Learned my lesson and it only happened once.

Just a warning...

RE: dumping

My surgeon told me it could be a possibility for someone like me who didn't have a gallbladder since I was having these symptoms before. However, since being sleeved I haven't experienced it.

      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
