Pre-op 45 year old here...My first post



Recommended Posts

Sup all...I currently pre-op working through my checklist of all the medical test and screenings. I am shooting to get a surgery date in April/May. I see there hasn't been any post in this area in a long time. Hopefully I can connect with patients in my age group, but Any age is welcome though. Holla if you want. In the meantime, I will keep checking out post in other areas.

Hi Kats. Thanks. I need the luck. I just hit a slight snag. I have to have some blockage cleared from an artery before I can proceed. But I am glad I am finding out now. After that I should be able to get a surgery date.

Good luck to those with upcoming surgery dates. I had an angiogram procedure this past week that has set me back, but I am back on track and hope to get a surgery date soon.

Hi everyone, I don't have my surgery date yet!!!! but have psych eval in April my journey is getting close to begin. I'm 47 and still not sure what surgery between sleeve and RNY will be better for me. Waiting after Endoscopy to find out. I have Gerd and hopeful after results will determine my procedure.

No surgery date for me yet. I am still optimistic and am looking forward. I'm still dropping pounds and will exceed my pre-op goal soon. As soon as I get a date I will let everyone know.

      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.
