My surgery is scheduled for August 3rd. The time cannot go by quickly enough. Would love to have someone to pen pal my way through this with. I think with the lap band I did not have enough support system. Trying to build one up for this surgery.

My surgery will hopefully be either the end of July or beginning of August. I was actually able to schedule for the end of April, but we have two girls out on maternity leave at work so my boss couldn't justify giving me the time off. I hope she doesn't give me any issues and have excuses when I go to schedule in July.

I am on Catalina Island but my surgery will be in San Diego CA. What is ENDO?

Endoscopy. They have to look down our throats into our stomach's to make sure all is good. That way if any issues, you can get addressed in the time before surgery too.

I believe so. They'll tell ya at your surgeon's appointment. But I had a checklist everyone goes by from the insurance lady. Some things were added and crossed out depending on each person's ailments. Got this my first visit.

My doctor checks h. Pylori blood levels if you've never had any issues. If that come back positive then he does an endo

      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. 🤞
