Thank you @@rking

Hello and good luck to you. Today was by 2nd visit to the doctor and I approximately got the date; it might be on 13 January. I'm excited and nervous all at same time. I'm having the sleeve.

January isn't far off!! Good luck to you also and keep me informed how it goes, wishing you the Best!

I have my script for my bloodwork and need to get it done this week since my next apt is next Thursday! I'm running out of time! I met with the cardiologist and had an ekg and they're scheduling me for a stress test and a home sleep study. Hopefully my insurance cooperates. I like the medical team so that helps. Your a little further along than I am if your going in January! Are you super excited? Lebanon huh! Your far away from me! My friends husband is from there! Great guy.

You are going to do great! I hear they sedate you for it. I've never had one! I go back this Thursday the 3rd for my second monthly apt. Will meet with everyone again. Gotta get my bloodwork done asap so it's done and back for that apt!

I'm new to forum and am at the same place you are. I begin my 12 week nutrition classes on Dec 1.

      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.
