Well I it feels like I have been to a 100 appointments... I have already met with the surgeon..the nutritionist....had my blood tests..my EKG .just about everything is done except I am stuck on the physiologist clearing me... at my first sitting with her it seemed like everything was going well until I told her I had four beers with my girlfriends....that stopped her from clearing me !! Very big disappointment...I had to go to a risk management group... and I went yesterday. ..it was pretty awful...anyway I meet with the physiologist agaib on THURSDAY. ..and I am praying she clears me...! I am having it done at the Cleveland Clinic.

Do you plication? How long has it been since the surgery?

Yes I do. I had it done dec 3/12:) I chose plication for personal reasons and there's some days I wonder if I had the sleeve would i loose quicker? But I am low bmi sw 203 and I'm 5'7 and I am at 165 now. Not too shabby;) whenever I get frustrated at slow loss I remember I am grateful to have this tool as I haven't been this weight for years and know I would not be here if it wasn't for that! Do you have plication?

      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.
