First Meeting With Surgeon On Tuesday



Recommended Posts

So I'm having my first appointment with the surgeon on Tuesday November 12 and I am so excited. I met her at the seminar and she was just beautiful and was so understanding and very knowledgable on explaining how everything went, she made sure we were well informed! I'm just ecstatic and getting the process going and seeing what are my options and things I must do until the big day!!!!! ????????????

Thanks so much girl! My friends baby name is Armani so cute right... How has your process been? I'm looking for new friends on here, I feel like I can't rely on my family and friends for support... They just don't care!

I love the name Armani that's why I named my son like that. My process so far fast and smooth. Hopefully I can say the same after surgery. Ooh we can be RNY buddies

That's great everything is going smoothly on your end! Today I met with dr. choi my surgeon and she recommends I get Rny over any other procedure due to my acid reflux and risk of diabetes, I'm going to have to get a sleep study for my sleep apnea, a endoscopy to see if I have any ulcers and all the other basic appointments needed! How soon is your surgery? Looks like I have a few more months to go

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
