All done my pre op requirements. The Surgeon's Nurse called me yesterday but got my machine. Hoping she has good news for me and will call today! Hoping for June 1st RNY. Fingers crossed!!

Ok! Scheduled for 6/1. I have a whole pre op day scheduled for 5/26. Will meet with Anesthesia, the Surgeon and go to a Group Nutrition class for pre ops. That's a week before the surgery date , so it doesn't seem like I'll have a liquid pre op diet week or two.

I am scheduled for RNY 6/30 as long as insurance approves after I finish my 3 month diet. Really need as many mentor/buddies as I can get, very nervous.

Alright, alright! Our June crew is shaping up. Let's keep in touch. I welcome the support as I am doing this alone. I'm divorced. Adult kids live far away. No current Boyfriend. I haven't shared this with anyone and I prefer it that way.

I'm June 7. Revising from lap-band which was removed on March 16. The process has taken well over a year. It feels a little surreal now that it's really getting close.

@@waterwoman, I agree. I started the process in October and June seemed far away. Now that surgery is in 3 weeks, it definitely feels surreal. I have all this nervous energy. Heck, I'm completely redecorating my bedroom. New furniture, linens, paint, carpeting, the works. I feel like I'm nesting!

I worry about weird things, like what if I'm that one person that the surgery doesn't work for or what if I have complications and I can't go back to work as scheduled? I have to work, I'm my sole support. What if all my hair falls out? Gosh, I just need to get this done and be on the other side!

      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.
