Ohio Sleeve patients?



Recommended Posts

I'm having mine at Miami Valley Hosp in Dayton on Dec 18 with Dr Siddiqui. What takes all day for the pre op testing? I'd like to go to the support meeting in Dec but it said it was the Christmas party.

I used to work on 7T at MCW which is my main reason for not wanting to go there.

Thankfully I survived. I actually thought the staff was great.

They are good it's more of a personal thing. I just don't want to be there for my surgery, with my old co-workers. So glad everything went well!!!!

Hello everyone! I'm going through OSU as well. I've already done the psych eval, EGD, EKG, and working through the pre/post op courses now.

Yeah, Im waiting to hear on the exact date. My pre op final appt is in the process of being scheduled. I get my surgery date then. Hoping it is only a small waiting period, I figured like 4-5 weeks, we'll see though. I am going thru Dr. Noria. I really liked her. I met her in my first class to learn about the process and she made a great impression. Who are you using?

I'll have Dr. Noria. She's who did my EGD. I believe my next step after these courses are ins approval, then meet w surgeon to get date. I'm curious how far out they are now as well. It seems like the longest part of this process has been waiting for appointments.

      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. 🤞
