This is a closed/secret group for everyone who is going to have bypass surgery in February 2016!

We would LOVE to have you join in wit us! Just go to Facebook and search my name LaNae Davis Petersen, send me a friend request. I can then send you an invite to secret page and then I'll remove you back off my friends list 

It's meant to be a positive group who we can all be going through the same things at the same tim on this journey! The goals will be to provide support, bounce questions off each other, have somewhere safe to share on the days that aren't so great, and share our victories on this journey!

MOST importantly it's all confidential, unless you are in this group people can't see the group, who's in it or what the posts are.

I tried could not find you. Please find me. Sandra Joy

@@prettyCali916 Thanks for the reminder! Did anyone else's surgeon tell them to remove nail polish? Wth? Why do I have to do that?

Mine didn't say but when I had my knee surgery a couple of years ago, they said the same thing. I never knew why but someone on here explained that it is because they use your nails to check circulation or blood flow or something. You know how your nail beds can get completely white if there's no blood flow (you press them down for a long period or something like that) but when there's blood flow they are nice and pink? That's why. I guess it's one of the things they check...heartbeat..pulse...nail beds lol.

I got a mani pedi with no nail polish. So weird. The nail techs were like "you sure, you sure?" Like i was crazy lol

LOL I did a complete shave, everywhere... I know nurses and Dr's privately talk.. didn't want that to be part of their convo. I also cleaned like crazy today. Washed my bed clothes and everything else.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow! :) I'm looking forward to hearing about everyone's experience in the next couple of days. I'm nervous because it sounds like everyone else is going to be in the hospital at least overnight to a couple of days and I'm only scheduled for day surgery.....

What kind of surgery are you having? For my sleeve I wasn't in the hospital 12 hours. For the bypass they are saying a day or two

      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. 🤞
