If everything goes well....my date is set for 8/21 with Dr. Rod in MX. My coordinator has been wonderful. (JoAnne) I am super scared as I've never undergone general anesthesia in my life! I hope I don't react badly to it. I'm going to have to go over my pre and post op diet instructions again as I believe it wasn't a "liquid" diet as much as a low carb, liver shrinking type....maybe I missed something? hmmmm... now i'm worried

I will be sometime in August and I am very excited about the procedure and what it means for my future but nervous about the surgery going well. Is anyone else a scaredy cat like me about the surgery? I am consumed with fear about it. Yikes!!!

I called today to get the ball rolling on my complication insurance, since I will be having surgery out of the country and my health insurance excludes WLS. Not scared yet, just excited. However, what will happen is that I will be TERRIFIED on surgery day!!!

What insurance are you looking at? I knew this was possible but had no Idea where to start! You can message me the info if you'd like...thanks!

I just got my date today--August 7th!! I just have to do 2 weeks at 1200 calories, then the last 48 hrs will be liquid only--I can handle that. I'm down about 40 lbs over the 5 months leading up to this....ready to really start making progress, I want to drop another 140. Which sounds like a crazy high amount, but I know it's possible!

I thought I was August 1 but it will be either 8/1 or 8/9. A bit disappointed but I will persevere, it's only a week.

      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.
