When did you get your surgery? It must feel good to be under 300!

I'm in SE Mass. Walpole. I'm having my surgery done at St. Elizabeth's with Dr. McCluney.

Great! I guess there aren't many people around me, but my fellow Massachusettsians are a great start! :) Do you know when you are having your surgery done?

I'm done with all my pre-op testing and they are submitting to insurance next week. I should have a surgery date any day now!

That's wonderful! I will be done with my pre-op testing soon, too. I think I make an appointment with my surgeon on the 13th of February or so! I am so excited. Although I just quit smoking today, so I have to wait 8 weeks before surgery.

That's awesome. Quitting must make things harder! What made you choose Dr. Pecquex? I was referred to Dr. McCluney who is the Assistant Director of the Steward Center for Weight Loss but I don't know much about him...

Rose,

They actually chose her for me. I didn't know all the docs, so I just went with the one they suggested. I go to Holy Family Hospital, and will have the surgery elsewhere, but I forget where. Maybe we will be in the same hospital! :)

I bet it's St. Elizabeth's Medical Center where I'm going! I think that's where the surgeries are done. Have you been to any local support groups? They have them at St. E's

      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.

      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.
