Old Bridge, NJ, with a surgery date of November 7th at Bayshore. I grew up in Sayreville/Parlin. It's nice to see a lot of "neighbors" here! :)

I have Dr. Strom...I like him alot, although everyone so far has been super nice. I had my first nutrition with David yesterday. He was nice, too, but almost seemed a little unsure at times. Honestly, I wish my primary care physician's employees and nurses were as nice! My PCP has one or two excellent employees while the rest talk about patients behind the glass lol! I missed the last support group so I'll be at the September 11th one. :D

So close I live in Perth amboy previously in Parlin

I still kind of miss the area but it isn't the same. Totally changed from when I was a kid (SWMHS class of 1990). When I was a kid my pediatrition was in Perth Amboy, across the street from the hospital. Dr. Maktel died in 1991, though, his practice is long gone. I hated going over the bridge, coz I knew I'd end up getting a shot lol! :wacko:

      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.
