Sorry for the late response Ellapearl.....I had my pre-op appointment on 9/29 and I also met with my dietician. I started freaking out when I was reading the consent forms about the risk but my surgeon did a great job comforting me. I'm ready....I only have to do the clear liquid diet the day before surgery.

I am getting sleeved on 10/5 (4 days!?!). I have lost 20lbs on the preop diet. I am lucky because my husband is very supportive, and getting sleeved himself a month or so after me.

Hey folks. I was given my surgery date 10/17/2016 last week. Super excited but a bit worry now. Waiting on my final insurance( NYC HEALTHFIRST) approval as well. Just had my medical clearance appointment today and was told my EKG showed an incomplete right bundle branch block and my labs showed low Iron deficiency as well.So I was immediately scheduled to see a cardiologist this Tuesday. It's been a long journey and I know it's just the beginning but I'm really worried that it's a new setback. Please any advice?

Starting weight:225lbs March 2016

Last weightin: 210lbs October 2016

6 month weight in: 15lb lost

      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. 🤞
