She is very nice and I passed her requirements. Just be honest with her. She is understanding. Come to the meeting this Tuesday at St. Francis hospital at 6:30pm

It's the group Dr. Kelley used to lead. It is now peer lead in the St. Catherine room. 630 to 730. You get to ask others that have had the surgery over a year ago questions. It's all questions about anything pertaining to the surgery. Dr. Weaver did mine as well.

I have Dr. Weaver as well. I've heard she is the best! Silly but I dislike that she has so many patients that my pre-op appointment is scheduled 6 weeks away & my surgery probably won't be until end of April (lol). I was hoping to have it done middle of March when I'd have the most help available to me. Oh well. Still excited about this journey. I wish you all the best. Hope I'll get a chance to meet at one of the meetings. I'm going on the 6th.

Hey there, how are you doing?

Oh girl I am great except I had to be rushed to the ER yesterday in major pain. The CT scan showed a 4mm kidney stone that's on the move from the kidney to the bladder. The good news is that the blood work showed all my Vitamin levels and Protein levels were great. How are you?

Oh no! Thank goodness you are ok now. Did they say how you got it? I'm doing good. I'm 10 pounds from my goal ( I've changed it as I don't think I need to lose as much as I originally thought). So just trying to stay focused and follow the plan.

No they didn't. But I googled kidney stones after gastric bypass and it said it was pretty common after the bypass.

      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.
