It really is.....where did you have yours done i had it at hospital Angeles by dr corvalas. I am happy with everything so far but would have like a name of a local doctor who knows about this procedure for the just in case. He did say he would give me a name I emailed the nutrishonist several times but no reply I'm going to try and call there on Monday I made the mistake of reading all the past post and there were 2 people that had complications 5 months out and felt great it is my only concern other than that I could live happily ever after :)

Hi davell23, glad to hear your doing great. I had mine done in Northern Westchester hospital, Mt. Kisco, NY. I loved the hospital and all the nurses and staff there. But do not like my surgeon. I dread going to see him for a follow up. He's on vacation after doing my surgery. He rushes you through your visit and is very rude and abrupt. But one of the best surgeons in the country. Nice talking to someone thats going through the same thing. :)

So Thanksgiving dinner has come and gone and I am so proud of myself! I did the cooking, hosted a lovely dinner and followed all of my rules.....and no melt down. I ate as I was supposed to and enjoyed myself thoroughly! Without being sick, eating too much and no pie at all :-) Sorry if I sound like I am crowing, but i really am proud of myself! I hope it went as well for everyone else. As a scuba diover, it is drilled into us "Plan your dive and dive your plan" This was "plan your eating and eat your plan" and just as in diving, it WORKED! Happy holidays everyone! Stay way away from the cookie tray!

Went to see my surgeon for follow up after sugery and his nice long vacation.. I was already for a terrible rushed visit and to my surprise it was great. He was very nice and really pleased with my weight loss. I am down 25 lbs in one month. I am so happy. My clothes are getting loose and I feel really good. Joining an exercise program soon. Just walking alot a couple times a week. Want to do more. Yippeeeeee!!!!!! Hope everyone else is doing good. Thanks for listening.

      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.
