Hi PigsRFlying,

I'm really nervous as I think I may be taking the Lovenox my Dr. prescribed wrong. I guess I'll just have to wait until tomorrow and call and find out. I thought he said to give myself one injection daily but the prescription says twice daily. I've had two DVTs so am nervous about having another.

How are you feeling? who is doing your surgery?

I'll be praying for you. Would you please say a prayer for me also? Thanks, Carolyn

The after pain is really no big deal. It's like you did 200 sit ups and the soreness has set in. You will do just fine.

hey Bandzski, I had my band done by Dr. Deol last month... had first fill today! good luck!

I'm so glad to have found someone else with the same doctor. Please keep me informed on your progress. Dr. Deol seems very competent, thorough and caring. I'm glad she will be doing my surgery. I'm not the least bit nervous. How long were you on Medifast? I'm on week 2 of 4. I found it really hard at first, but it seams easier as I go. How long did it take you to get approved? It took me 7 months once I started my testing. My PCP put me through the ringer! At least now I know I'm healthy... inside and out! How are you feeling after the fill? Sorry about all the questions, I'm just excited to see someone else with the same doc on here.

surgery date 8-27-07

Dr. Deol, Troy, Mich.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
