Husband's VSG scheduled for 1/12/15 at 10:15 am CST.



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

My husband, Lewis, is scheduled for his surgery on Monday, January 12, 2015 at 10:15 am. He is a very high risk patient and the surgery will not be laproscopic. The surgeon has to go in via an incision due to other health issues.

Those who are so inclined--PLEASE say a prayer for him to be able to undergo the vertical sleeve gastrectomy AND recover well from it. Those are the remaining hurdles for him. As I've said before, I would very much like to be a couple who can dance again, travel again and enjoy things we used to enjoy.

Keep warm everyone in the states, I know it's colder than a well digger's a$$ in Alaska as my father used to say. ;)

turn about is fair play

he helped you the past year with his support

now you can help him - then both work and support each other!!

how great is that!!!

i can only imagine with his past issues, you are both nervous/anxious/excited etc

please report back how things are going on monday

we all get involved/feel for our fellow sleevers or any other WLS people ;)

after his re-cuperation hope to see you two dancing into the sunset on your cruise to hawaii or "alaska" ;)

baby it is cold outside!!! Syracuse, NY

i've always heard the expression "its colder than a witches titttttt" :o :D

may this new year bring you both all the health and happiness you deserve :)

good luck

Kathy,

Thank you. I'm so grateful for this site. Thank you Alex Brecher.

Coming here and posting and getting feedback from people who have been there, done that and bought the T-shirt ;) ---is PRICELESS.

I'll keep y'all updated on Lewis's status after his surgery Monday.

Imagine someone singing this sweetly, (admittedly, that would be someone other than myself) :D:

"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Kathy, happy birthday to you!"

I wish you a very happy, wonderful birthday.

Kathleen

      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.
