I'm from Hamilton, Ontario. I'm just starting the process, have my first first meeting on May 12th. Anyone able to give me some insight into what kind of wait time I should expect?

I'm also from Toronto. I have my final appointment tomorrow before I see the surgeon. I am so nervous and really would love to get the surgery done and over with. Is anyone else doing the appointments and surgery through Toronto Western Hospital?

The psych appointment went really well. It's a waiting game for a bit now though. Apparently everyone you meet with gets together once a week to discuss each case and decide if any thing else is needed before you see the surgeon. Hopefully all is good and they will book the surgeon appointment soon!

Sorry just figuring this out. I am from Ohio. And yes rny

Hey, no problem. We're all figuring this out :-)

I can't wait until it's my turn... I feel like I have been waiting forever for my life to start... But then I remind myself not to get my hopes up to high or get too excited because I am just starting this process.

I finally got my surgery date!!! June 19th. It seems like it took forever to get the call. Lol. Been waiting for it since the end of January. I start my all-liquid Opti-fast diet on May 29th. Has anyone else been on the Optifast yet?

Congrats!! Where are you getting it done? Did you have to do a lot of tests? Ei. Scope, mental, ECG?

      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.
