Hi! Good to speak to someone near! How are you? Dr. Enochs from BSNC was my surgeon. Who was yours? Have you gone back for you 2 weeks post op yet? And if so, how much have you lost since the date of surgery? Have you gone to any of the support group meetings there or do you know of any in Durham?

Yup just went to my post op appt yesterday. I'm down 20 lbs from my pre op diet to now. I lost 12 of those after my sleeve. I had Dr. Enochs as well. I haven't been to a support group yet my my friend and I are planning to go to the one at Rex next month. The schedule is on the practice's website. So cool to meet someone with the same doctor and a week apart in the same area! I live in Apex, so it was so convenient too!!

      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.
