I'm planning on August. We are going out of the country in mid July and I worry about complications if I do it earlier. I've already done my 6 month visits, sleep study, met with the surgeon, nutritionist and social worker. I've been going back and forth on the lap band or the sleeve. The surgeon seemed to prefer the band. Since I've only been counseled on the band I have to go back and have the sleeve counseling section too.

If all goes well with insurance I should be having surgery either late July or early August. I'm excited! I meet with the Nut and Psych on May 6th then start my mandatory classes with the surgeons office on May 11th. It will all be here before we know it!!!!

Im scheduled for the end of August. I have had my monthly visits since Febuary but now I'm feeling nervous. I have had many surgeries before, perhaps its the drastic measure of cutting stomach, I don't know... but I am scared and have never been before a surgery.

I don't have my endo scheduled yet, but that's the only other thing left for me to get scheduled. I only have to see the Nut and Psych once, so I'm excited that we're all here to support each other. Our surgeries will be scheduled and here before we know it!

Looks like I may be an AUGUST sleever, too! I have done my psych evaluation, chest X-ray, primary care doctor visit, and abdominal ultrasound. I have my EGD consult tomorrow and sleep study consult next week. Moving right along. I will be doing a revision from the band.

Just found out that my Endo is scheduled for May 22nd. Its awesome and yet scary at how quickly everything is happening. I'm glad we all are in the same boat! Its nice to have someone who understands exactly whats going on.. My co workers and family don't exactly get why I'm so excited to have doctors appointments. 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. 🤞
