I need some buddies. I just had my first appointment yesterday. Still really undecided on which surgery I want to do. But really leaning towards RNY. Most likely will get that one

Thank you. How are things going for you? My only hesitation on rny is the malabsorption. I'm concerns about that. Other then that I'm all for rny.

I'll have my 3rd visit with the nutritionist in the morning. 3 more left. I'm excited and scared at the same time. Hoping for a surgery date in November. I have decided on the sleeve due to the malabsorption as well, in addition to Idk how I feel about things bring rerouted but then again I'm

Getting 80% of my stomach removed- so go figure! However I'm pretty confident that I won't change my mind regarding which surgery

First of all, congrats on taking that step!!!! From personal experience, those 6 months will FLY!!!

I'll be having my 4th this coming wed.

Hoping for RNY this November!

Also malabsorption from what I've read, asked, and have heard from the meetings I've gone too, is something like a tool. So that helped put my mind at ease some!

I'm just finishing my 6 months with my appointment in 2 weeks and I will tell you that it goes by so fast! The small changes that you can make now during the six-month time will help you with your success moving forward :) I had a very hard time giving up soda and my ice coffee but now that it's gone I don't even miss it

Hello, Nice to meet you. I'll have my fourth appt out of 6 on 8/26/ and I've decided on RNY, if you take an bariatric Vitamin and follow your surgeons order then malabsorption shouldn't be a problem if that's what you mean.

I have 2 under my belt, 4 to go with the last one set for November 1st. Praying for quick approval and surgery mid to end of November! Going to discuss results from endoscopy on the 5th to get a final decision on surgery type. Hoping for the sleeve but will take bypass if that is the verdict. Just ready for a healthy rest of my life!

Thank you all for the replies. I wish you all the best of luck. If any of you want to keep in touch go ahead and message me. You guys have put my mind at ease a bit. So I haven't had my appointment with the dietician yet, what all do they discuss? My insurance doesn't require me to loss any weight, neither does my Dr. I'm just excited for everything really. I mean who isn't lol.

@@QueenLeo - Like @@Tayfusion says, if you do everything right, you'll almost certainly be just fine. I'll be having my 1-year blood work check up in a couple weeks, so I'll be happy to show you how everything looks, but everything has been perfect. I've had no complications, and I've lost 172 pounds since the day of surgery. Most likely I'll hit the 180-pound lost mark by one year out. I would do this over again a thousand times if I had to, and choose RNY every single time. :) You can have success with either surgery, I'm just a huge proponent of the bypass because of how incredibly amazing my life has become because of it.

That is awesome! I'm happy for you. Definitely keep in touch and show me all that you did if you don't mind.

I literally go in, get weighed, she asks if I have any questions, and then allows me to leave

That's what I'm thinking they'll do at mine because my caseworker said it's pointless to do the 6 months especially if they don't require me to lose any weight but that is what my insurance company is requesting I do. But I do have some questions when I first start.

I made the best out of them. Get questions answered, help with any eating issues or cravings, learn how to eat post-op.

I did the same. But most the time, she would just tell me okay start Vitamins now. Your recovery will look like this. Etc.

      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.
