Hi Gardengirl, I would love to talk too! I'm also very new so still trying to navigate the site. I'm not sure how or if you can send personal messages, I would think you can somehow. This is a great forum with lot's of advice, support. Have you already got a firm date for your op? Oh my name is Joanne :-)

Awesome!! My dr office won't schedule my surgery until sleep study is complete. Insurance is approved though. Are you having surgery in Detroit?

My middle child is at camp outside of Detroit right now. Ortonville...going there next Friday to pick her up.

What kind of pre-op diet will you be facing?

Yes I'm having it in Detriot at St John. I have a 2-week liquid diet. Where abouts are u located?

I'm working with Dr. Foote, Grand Health Partners in Grand Rapids, MI. Waiting for my sleep study to be completed and then hopefully schedule a date at end of August. His assistant is not good at returning phone calls so I'm a little frustrated...

I am in Washington State, I have done everything just waiting for the aproval from the insurance. I am excited but very reserved at the same time. They had me do soo many tests it has been a long 8 months. I have been married for 18 years and have 5 children. I work from home and you are the first person I have talked to.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
