I'm really late to this post, but am going through the same at True Results in Plano. I'm also self pay and have acid reflux. I had my physical, ekg and blood work, but they said it would take two weeks to look things over and schedule my endoscopy. I'm 4 days into my two week wait and it's killing me. What if I don't have a hernia? I'll be devastated. How quickly after the endoscopy did you get scheduled for the procedure? Thanks in advance for the help!

Yoyo, if took about a month be very patient! Don't worry you WILL have a hernia & even if you don't they will say you do so that your insurance pays for the hernia repair & then you pay for the sleeve out of pocket.

Thank you so much for the peace of mind! I need this serious intervention and can't think of anything else right now except getting to the surgery date.

Just try to relax, once they get your blood work, they send it to the surgeons office & they get your file together. You are probably going to have surgery in late June or July. They schedule it really fast! You can always email your advocate for updates, mine always replied b/c I was bugging the crap out of her lol

You sound like me. She told me upfront to bug her if I had a question... I might have to take her up on that offer. Lol.

      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.
