Hi ya'll! Greetings from sunny Virginia. October is just two months away and I'm so excited! My surgery is scheduled for October 6th, and I'm just freaking out with excitement, terror, and hope.

Can't wait to hear from other October RNY-ers.

I think I'm looking at the end of October but I don't have a date yet. Still doing all the Insurance processing. Should get approval by the third week of September and then schedule my surgery after that. Glad you got your day of surgery. Good luck

Super bariatric babe I'm not in Northern Virginia. I live in Southern Maryland in LaPlata . So it's a good hour plus away for me to go to the hospital and the doctor's appointments

I'm actually pretty thrilled for an October recovery time. Going for walks when it's cool outside and the leaves are changing to their fall colors sounds like a pretty perfect day. Infinitely preferable to a sweaty hot & humid summer recovery. :) Plus it's just in time to keep us away from all those tempting Halloween & Thanksgiving goodies.

Hoping for late October! Finishing insurance requirements at the end of September! Getting excited/nervous! Agree with recovery in cooler weather. Very motivating to get out and walk.

I'm hoping for late October surgery as well. I have to say it never occurred to me about the cooler weather for recovery and walking, but Oh Yeah!!! I hate the heat and how great will it be starting this journey in the fall! Thanks for mentioning that!!!! ????

      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.
