Hi all! I'm right on the NH border in MA close to Salem. I'm in the middle of this journey. Met with surgeon already. Have yet to meet with psych and nutritionist. It's nice to see some locals here!

That all sounds doable, yay! What's the exercise class all about? Oddly enough , I actually really like working out lol, although I have made a point not to until I get my first weigh in, I don't want to accidently lose 5lbs by some miracle and not make the bmi required lol, I'm not against putting a 2lb weight in my pocket .

The exercise "class" is just an information type thing. They will have you walk for 6 mins and get your heart rate abs go over some things you should be doing. Nothing stressful at all. You'll see them 3 times during the program both before and after surgery :)

Lol... They don't list the classes on line. It will be one day a week, I think mine was on Mondays, for 6 weeks. You will have to call and get in the list for the next round of classes :). I really enjoyed the class and got a lot out of it.

It went really well, it was informative, I handed in all my paperwork and now I'm just waiting for my stupid PCP office to do their job and actually fax over my records, if they had, I would already have been able to schedule my 3 required appts! Woooo

Not to bad. This one was easier for me then the first surgery. I guess being in better shape may have helped!! Thank you for asking

      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.
