My date is currently the 24th, and I planned it that way so I could enjoy the 4th and my birthday on the 16th before I have to start the one week diet for real.

Of course, the best laid plans... I may have to try and move to an earlier date - I may be changing jobs in mid to late July and if so I would want to get this done before starting. Hopefully I'll have an answer this week.

Just got my date today. July 16th. Im band revision and my worst nightmare is ill wake up in recovery to be told my stomach was too damaged from my herniated band to do the sleeve at the same time. Can't afford 2 surgeries and since my bmi is only 28, my insurance wont pay for a 2nd surgery. So Im praying ill wake up without a band and sleeved...

Getting it done in Coos Bay, Or.

I'm July 16th too and a revision too... and I know how you feel about waking up and not being sleeved. My bmi is 35 so I'm not sure what my insurance would do. Let me know if you're looking for a surgery buddy, I kinda want to find someone going through the same thing as me!

I think I'm going to be having surgery 7/23 with Dr. Pleatman in MI. I live in southeastern OH and am self-pay. I'm nervous, but excited and more hopeful than I've felt in years!

I have a surgery date!! July 10th! But I'm still not getting my hopes up because it always seems like something falls through, I have already had 3 different surgery dates and it hasn't worked out yet. This time I'm afraid my loan is going to fall through because on my loan application it asked for patient income and I put my entire household income. Now with everything being processed I need to supply proof of income, which I can for my household income, it isn't like I lied about that, but I think they may have just wanted my own personal income and that probably wouldn't make me eligible for the loan anymore. :(

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
