Looking for 10/13 surgery buddies



Recommended Posts

I'm so sorry that they decided to postpone your surgery :(

Tomorrow is our big day!!!! Did anyone have to lose a specific amount of wait prior to surgery?

I needed to lose 13lbs before surgery, and so far I've lost 27lbs.

I did not. I had to go to supervised weight visits though for 6 months. Did you have to lose a specific amount?

Sadly, my insurance decided YESTERDAY that they need 3 more months of nutrition classes. I'm very upset, sad... So dissapointed because I've done EVERYTHING. I've been doing my liquid diet & all.

I gave myself Friday & Saturday to cry about it & although I'm still upset I'm staying to get over it.

My surgery has been rescheduled for January 19,15.

With that being said I want to wish ALL of you the best of luck tomorrow! Please keep me posted on your progress!

I am so sorry they decided at the last minute to cancel your surgery. =( Keep us posted on your progress!!!

I had to lose 10lbs before surgery but gained 12 during the 5 months of nutrition visits. So it turned into 22lbs. I am going in for the sleeve tomorrow if I lose the last 2.5 lbs today????

Good luck with those last 2.5 pounds!! Hopefully it will come off or be close enough for your surgeon to just give the go ahead =)

Well, I'm finally home from the hospital. I had to stay two nights bc I was having an issue with nausea. Things are going pretty good now though. Still feel sick if I don't pay attention when I'm drinking.

How is everyone else doing?

      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.
