Recommended Posts

Hi. Just got my date yesterday. It's gonna be on "leap day"! I told my friend who already had it done and she says "how are you gonna Celebrate your one year surgiversary?"

You would celebrate your surgiversary on March 1st for the years there is no leap day. :) Congrats on getting a date!

Still no word from the insurance company or surgeons office. Holding out hopes for the 23rd. Starting preop tomorrow just in case. You better be sure I will be on the phone with both when they open today!

Kathychef, I had my surgery o Monday also. Everything has gone well, except for indigestion and some pain. Even drinking Water out of tiny medicine cups gives me indigestion.. It feels as though everything gets stuck at the top of the esophagus . It really hurts!

Shiloh2004 and Nikki3...I agree! It feels like everything is stuck at the top of your esophagus! I was burping up Fluid a lot and the PA told me it's because everything is swollen inside. Not necessarily acid reflux, but rather, fluid that is sitting at opening. It feels like you swallowed a pill the wrong way and can feel it going into your stomach. I just take small sips. When I get the pain, it means I am going too fast. I slow down and it goes away! 3 days out of surgery and I don't seem have that back wash problem anymore. Glad to hear everyone is doing so well! ❤️

I will be Feb 24th. I am nervous but excited too. I am nervous because I am having hard time grasping getting part of my stomach removed. I am fine with the diet and all. It is a life changing thing and I am looking forward to it.

I had my surgery on the 11th. My surgeon said that feeling is because the part of the stomach that signals your esophagus to relax was removed. The trick is to take very small sips. I'm very fortunate at not having too much trouble but when I forget and take a "normal" sip it definitely gets my attention!

SummerDream...I hear you about getting your attention when you take normal size sips! How are you doing since your procedure? Are you on full liquids or purée foods yet? Hope things are good! ????

I am so incredibly crushed at the moment. My procedure is set for the 23rd and my insurance has, for the second time, denied my sleeve. The surgeons office has set up a Dr to Dr conference tomorrow between my surgeon and the Med Director for my insurance. I feel like all the hard work over the last year is slowly going down the drain. Sorry for venting but I feel if anyone understands it's the people on this forum.

      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.
