March 2014 Surgery!



Recommended Posts

I am tenatively scheduled for Mach 25th, but still waiting on final approval from insurance. I am excited and nervous. To the Army wives, thanks for supporting our men in uniform. My husband ex-Navy and my oldest son is in Navy Class C school currently. We also have our youngest son in ROTC, Army sponsored, so it seems I may have one sailor and one soldier!!! Good luck to all!! Can't wait for our different journies to begin!

March 4th! I'm starting my preop diet this weekend. I've never been in the hospital before so I'm pretty nervous. Good luck everybody.

You'll be great! I've had multiple surgeries ranging from knee, shoulder, a couple c-sections, etc... I do have to say that my appendectomy hurt worse than my c-sections. It was all the air/gas that they pump in you. Just walk walk walk.... good luck and hope you keep us updated!

Hoping for March 25th surgery date here, but could be delayed as we are still pending approval. This waiting is getting the best of me, I can't focus on anything else!! This site is helping calm down a little, but it continues to consume my thoughts!!

I travel alot with my job and am anxious to get back on the road to get my mind off of the waiting!

Good luck to all and look forward to the journey!

Hi everyone, my surgery is scheduled for March 12th. Starting my pre op diet tomorrow. Hopefully it goes well and I can loose some weight before surgery. I haven't lost any weight as of yet. I would be devastated if they postponed my surgery for not losing enough weight.

Good Luck everyone!

      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.
