There was issues between the hospital and the medical aid/insurance.

So have to change hospitals and surgeons. Hopefully it will be the 19th now' date=' but will have to wait and see. Meeting new Surgeon on the 11th then I will know more after that.[/quote']

That is ridiculous ...... But try not to stress too much. It will come together.

Hi All!! I am new to this site. My surgery is scheduled for February 18th. As if that isn't enough I am moving just 3 days before surgery' date=' not far but it's still stressful trying to get everything together. I am 31 married mother of 3 girls ages 11,9, and 7. We live in Delaware is anyone else from Delaware?[/quote']

I am not. Maryland. Usually drive thru to N.Y. Welcome!

And I know moving is a lot, especially with kids and medical needs to be met...

Good luck

So how did it go? Are u good to go?

Sorry I forgot to update here! They ended up letting me stay home and moving my surgery up....I have to be there at 7a.m. Magnesium citrate is disgusting and I already was having issues with only drinking shakes...there is nothing in there to clean out....blegh.....have a glass of Water near by. I am really nervous, but I am trusting in God. I won't be able to update till I get home though....no smart phone and this nexus is hooked up to my home FiOS so I will be off the grid till I get back. Hugs and prayers to everyone who goes in after me.....see you on the losers bench!

      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.
