That's exactly what Shalanda told me. I am waiting on my test dates but she said she thought surgery would be later June early July!!! So excited to move on!!

No my surgeon is Dr. Diaz. I was on a limb between him and Dr. Evanson though. Lol My mom had dr. Caccuci (sp???) and wasn't happy with her so I knew I wanted to go with someone else so I started asking around. I took whoever could get me in for my consult the soonest. Lol

Hi all! I am in Indy and I'm also with Dr Evanson. I just got my testing date, too! It's May 27th! Any idea how long it takes to get a surgery date after testing? I'm really hoping for late June.

I have my testing on Friday, so i am hoping to get a date right after that. Hopefully we all have our surgeries close together. Maybe we will be in Pre-op classes together. :)

I'm in Washington! (: There are quite a few us here who are doing online support groups because there aren't any physical groups anywhere near us. I've thought about starting a support group but I didn't know where to begin! (:

Hi everyone. I'm from Lake Village, having RNY early next year with Dr Cahill at St Margaret's in Dyer.

Anybody else from NW Indiana?

      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.
