Aug 3rd here. Had my cardiologist appt yesterday and he told me this is the best decision I could have made. He said we discussed it several years ago and glad I'm finally taking the plunge. Very reassuring to hear that from him.

I was told yesterday the middle of August is probably a realistic time.

I'm hoping to get surgery mid-late August. Should be done with all of my checklist items on July 20th and then have to do the 2 week liquid diet. Fingers crossed!

I was finally approved in May but due to events beyond my control I had to wait to schedule my surgery. I finally was able to schedule it for August 15th and I can't wait!! I haven't gained since my last visit in April so that's a win for me! I am going to get back in the gym hard this month to get to the goal weight I've set for myself before surgery. Are there any sleepers in the St. Louis area?

I have a tentative date of August 3. My MD wanted to schedule me for 7/18, but I can't be off work this month. I hope they confirm that date this week. I am very excited, but a little scared as well.

@BAMichele..I hope they get you date confirmed as well. I'm a little nervous as well. I have a good friend who had the surgery back in March and said it was the BEST decision she's ever made. That gives my courage to push forward. Stay strong! This group is here for encouragement and information to help us get through this together!

Hi everybody!

My name is Laura I am from Albany, NY

I’m scheduled to have surgery August 3rd! I am going with the sleeve. I have been experiencing lots of anxiety. I find myself reading everything I can about pre/post-surgery. I’m also having strange surgery dreams. LOL! I never had any operations or procedures before I decided to have the surgery. I know everyone’s experience is different. I still have to meet with the cardiologist next week and after that just my H&P with the doctor. I am looking forward to meeting people on here so I don’t feel so alone in this process. Thanks everyone for letting me vent!

So funny...I too am having dreams about surgery. I had one last night that I was in a lot of pain and I had big holes in my stomach. I woke up and was sleeping on my stomach (which usually causes me pain anyway.) Good to meet you too. My surgery date is 8/5. Nervous isn't the word for what I'm going through. Major anxiety is close.

      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. 🤞
