Where are you having your surgery? Mine was done by Dr. Boorse at LVHN.

I was with Dr. Noonan! her! She is very spunky! I was blind sided with my original dr. My insurance would not cover it. Her team stepped up and got me in just in the nic of time and I could not be more thank-ful. Although the "hospital staff" could of been a lot better.

I had a great experience with their hospital staff! How long ago did you get your procedure done and how are you doing? I have had a rough past 6-7 months with family stuff and all and have taken a few steps backwards. Time to start over

@ wayne, I had mine on 11/22. Apparently everyone was "new" when I had mine. I am actually doing very well. I posted a bit earlier with my inches lost since surgery. I have dropped around 28lbs. I still have trouble with raw so I am staying away from it. I am still doing more soft foods than anything. I just had a conversation with a local that had the sleeve done and she is going to do a reboot. Same predicament that you are in. You can do it! We all support you.

Hi. I'm from Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania. Schuylkill County. I'm getting mine done at Geisinger, Danville. Don't have a date yet.

I have been in the program before and have dropped out. Cold feet. Hopefully I will stick with it this time.

        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
