I agree Dr. Peterson is the best. The endoscopy should be quick. I will be thinking about you so let me know how you are when you get home

Be sure you take someone with you or they might cancel. You get moderate sedation so you can't drive yourself home. My endoscopy is 6/23. I have psychology eval. Wednesday with Dr. Raj and after the endoscopy i have everything done they can ask for approval. When are you planning surgery?

I will for sure keep you posted. The endoscopy is my last thing before asking for approval. Pre-approval has already been made so I am hoping no later then mid July or maybe sooner. My husband will be going with me so I have him by my side through all of this which is nice. However it is always wonderful to meet new friends who are on the same journey.

Oh and dr raj is awesome :)

Great thats good to know I have been wondering what that evaluation will be about. I am glad to hear she is nice. I am so glad to meet someone that is going through this too and at the same clinic thats amazing - its a small world.

      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.
