I fly into San Diego then on to the Marriott on the 10th, surgery the 11th, hospital the 12th, hotel the 13th & 14th - flying home on the 15th. I'm nervous and trying to be sure I get as much information as possible before I go

I just decided to have have a band to sleeve revision last week and I already have my surgery scheduled for April 9th. I would love to do it next month, but I too have to schedule around work. I can't wait! I had success with the band until it failed, so I am ready to take the next step with a new "tool". I know I can reach my goal. I was so close before and I have all of the confidence and support I need to get me there this time around. Yay for April!

What surgeon are you using?

My surgeon is Dr. Bhoyrul in La Jolla. He has been my doctor since I got my Lap Band in 2009. He is absolutely amazing. He really cares about my well-being and has been very honest with me about what I need to do and what he feels is best for me. I chose him for his knowledge and experience in laparoscopic surgery, but I continue you see him because of his dedication to my health and weight loss. I know you didn't ask that, but I couldn't help myself.

      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. 🤞
