November surgery pals



Recommended Posts

I already have my date, just because that's how my surgeon's office works. They gave me November 4th, based of course on whether I get approved by my insurance, and finish ALL the appointments with specialists in the correct amount of time. It seems like FOREVER to wait, and I'm hoping to find some November buddies to wait with :)

Woo Hoo!!!! Finally some buddies. My surgery is November 12th. I chose that date because it worked best for taking the two weeks off of work. I already know insurance won't pay for mine so I have chosen a surgeon a friend used in Mexico.

And yes! I am enjoying ALL my favorite foods now. I start my two week liquids right before Halloween.

Here's to better health.....later. :)

Since I've gotten my date I wake up anxious and nervous. I suppose that is normal.

I get that way also but usually when I go to sleep I start praying and end up thinking about all the changes I have to do and end up with stomach pain, nausea and takes me a long time to fall asleep.

I haven't really gotten too nervous.....yet. Mostly I just think how much better I'm going to feel, and how I will be able to walk without hurting, or bend over without grunting, etc etc. I'm enjoying my food now and am usually thinking of ways to beef up the Protein in it for post-surgery (months post-surgery).

Sometimes I'll get a little sad because I'll think, "won't be able to have this after surgery". Then I remember, well I can. Just a lot less, and after I have my Protein first. Trying to turn the thinking around.

PM'd you Jenny.

Have a great week everyone!

      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.
