Recommended Posts

So I had my first appt Sept 2nd with NP.. I already did my sleep study last Sunday which I hated..I couldn't sleep.. hopefully I slept enuff.. Next week I have my endoscopy .. and my echogram.. by the end of this Month I will have all my test done and psych appt..then 3 more weigh ins.. When I started I thought omg.. 6 months of weigh ins.. I Will never get this surgery but it's going pretty fast.. now I have to decide if I want the sleeve or bypass.. I have acid reflux.. I am leaning towards sleeve..even if I have to take meds for a whole for my reflux.. it got worse as I was gaining weight.. so maybe it will go away as I lose weight.. I'm just letting everyone just starting..don't get discourage .. the time flies .. :-)

I would do the sleeve if I was you. No malabsorption issues. But that's just my opinion you do what u feel comfortable with. I took omeperzole prior to surgery and still take it. No big deal. I'm used to it now.

      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.
