Morning everyone..August 4th here..got my medical clearance from my GP yesterday..she gave me a copy of the clearance letter AS WELL as faxing it over. I was given that advice from the Pre Surgical group, to avoid any confusion if anything "gets lost in the shuffle". I have to call on Friday afternoon to get my surgery time. Doing the liquid has not been the easiest... But then again, nothing worth having comes easy, right? I am so ready to get on with my life. Hope you all have a great day !!

Congrats on your surgery date. Just waiting for mine. I know how you feel. I'm so ready for this and start new chapter in my life. All insurance needs is my weight for 2012 like really ugh. I did the 6 month weight loss and got shots for my back so now I can exercise. Yeah. I'm just ready for this change too.

It is indeed hard if not impossible. Best bet is to get children's liquid (or chewable tabs) and consult with the pharmacist on upping the dose.

You can also apparently get it on Amazon.< /p>

My VSG is scheduled for August 5th. Feeling a bit nervous, and to tell you the truth... Emotional! Emotional because I haven't told my daughter yet. Trying to think of the positives, while the negatives play a significant role. Sorry for the story... First post on this site... Love it so far!!!

      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.
