Bumping up this thread. 10 days until my pre-op work and 16 days until my abdominalplasty and breast augmentation!!! I'm getting very nervous, very excited, very anxious. My surgery is on the 29th of August and I should be home and will try, try, try to post from my bed by the 31st. With before and during pictures attached. My husband and nurses will help me with that.

I can't wait to here how surgery goes. I live in Reno and hope to be banded before the end of the year so I will probably be looking for a plastic surgeon next year. Good luck and congrats!:clap2:

Why would they make you go through anesthesia twice??? I would make sure one anesthesia- one day - do it all at the same session or I might consider finding someone who would. They can then charge you seperate for 2 sessions. That is silly to put you through that. I have seen many patients who have had both procedures done at the same time. Of course by picture only, doing research for my own PS. Good luck

I think they are now doing the surgery at the same time. I know they are not charging me for both because they made me get cashiers checks to be paid before surgery and the anestesia is only $1140. I go in for my pre-op appt on Thursday so I guess I will know then.

Okay. the doctor's office took extensive before photos of my breasts and stomach. My surgery is on Wednesday the 29th at 9:30 a.m. I will be back home by Friday night and will do EVERYTHING in my power to post the pics taken up until then. I told my husband to take pics in recovery, and when they open it up to check it while I'm in hospital. He promised he would. I will post by Friday night. If not, I will have him post them. I'm so excited and very, very nervous. I will be 13 months out from lap-band surgery on the day of my plastic surgery. 120 lbs lost in 13 months. And to be honest with ya, I didn't really lose any weight the first few months or the last few months. So don't get discouraged if you slow down. It picks back up. TALK TO YA'LL SOON!!

      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. 🤞
