I'm shooting for November 14th in Las Vegas.

All my paperwork is in, I'm just waiting to hear back from the patient coordinator.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

I'm hoping to have my surgery in November at Kaiser (West Los Angeles). I completed the 12 week of Options Classes that are required, lab work done, EKG, chest x-rays and pre-op appointment going over all the test results. Everything was good there but I was low on Vitamin D.

Now I'm waiting on the call to set up my appointment with the surgeon! I guess the EGD will be scheduled after? Can't wait to be with you all on the losers bench!! :D

Do you know what part of Austin your moving to? Have to let me know how you feel after surgery, that is what I am scared of.

Oh, the only things I have left to do are, ABG's, an all day education class (nutrition I think), and to meet with my doctor again. I have my ABG's on Sept 30th, and I'm going to pick up my preop diet info at that time.

Mine is November 14th! I can't wait. Was supposed to be October 24th, but the coordinator didn't return my FMLA forms in time. But either way I'm excited!

      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.
