Any of you guys getting sleeved in December? I was offered October 16th but due to my upcoming wedding and school and work and blah-blah-blah I had to wait till December. Any one else out there ready to role in December??? My preop diet ( 2 weeks liquid) starts Nov.25th so no turkey for me. I've already informed family I will be a no show this Thanksgiving, so worth it though. I decided to have a pre-Thanksgiving the Saturday before.

Congrats! I have to host Thanksgiving so I have to wait until after. Hoping for Dec 5.

I have my psych eval at the end of this month and hopefully will be scheduled for December. So far on the nutritionists diet I've lost 10lbs. Are you guys required to be on a special diet before your pre op liquid diet like me?

Yes, I am required to be on a liquid 2 weeks before,mine starts on Nov 25th. Luckily I wasn't asked to lose weight prior to surgery. Although I think it's because I had lost a few lbs between my consult and my NUT visit.

I got denied for my psych eval. I'll find out this Tuesday if he will clear me. Unlike you guys, I have to have clearance from everyone and have everything done in order to get a date. Which is a bummer.

That stinks! Can you get a second eval?

I think all of us need clearance from different docs. Imbself pay and had requirements too. I'm concerned about my EGD. Hopefully I will be cleared.

Good luck on Tuesday!

      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. 🤞
