I'm new to the site but have loved reading through all these great comments! I just heard today that I am scheduled for August 12th pending insurance approval. This is such a nerve wracking process. If anyone is in the DC/MD/VA area and wants to chat let me know. Good luck to all the August Sleevers!

Welcome!

My date is 8/26 and Dr. Moazzez is my surgeon, too.

Thanks! It's great to see someone with the same surgeon on here. Have you gone to any of the support groups yet? I would really like to meet some other people who are going through the same things.

I had my appointment today, 7/23/14. I have my surgery date for 8/28/14. (99.9%)

My last monthly weigh in is 8/5, my pre-op EGD is 8/13, and I am aiming for a surgery date of 8/26. Met with the surgeon on Monday and I am starting to question if RNY may be a better choice versus the VSG? The surgeon said he could go either way and he doesn't feel either choice would be a bad choice. I like the idea the RNY has been around for a long time and has proven itself over the long run. I am now back to square one researching and trying to decide which way is best. :( I hate trying to pick between the 2 and to think I might make the wrong choice is terrifying! Ok done whining now!

Also, no pre-op diet. Just no food or drink 8 hours before surgery and no aspirin or ibuprofen 1 week prior.

I'm getting sleeved Aug. 11 and starting my Pre-op liquid fast July 28. I'm really getting nervous. CANNOT believe it's about to happen. I'm excited for what's to come. I'm SAD about wasted time and opportunities, experiences that could have been richer and fuller. And, I am HOPEFUL for a healthier future.

I went to the one on Monday. It was very good (and very well attended, although that can make conversation difficult!). I plan to go back in August.

I did a list of everyone who has posted their surgery date. I thought it'd make it easier to see who is your 'surgery twin', and also so that as the month progresses, we can encourage each other and keep track of how we're all doing.

*hugs*

IF you don't see your name, or if I got a date wrong, please copy/paste and repost.

      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. 🤞
