Who did you see? I have been given a choice to see 2 doctors, one in Santa Rosa, and another one in San Francisco. I live up in Humboldt County.

I would take off longer than 2 weeks it's really an adjustment notime about the pain

I'm limited on my benefit time at work so I was hoping to take 2 weeks off without anyone knowing I'm having surgery...HR isn't very professional nor are most of my colleagues so I'd rather be private ...at the most I could take 3 weeks but it would deplete my hours...

Life longer Buckeye fan;/shook hands with Woody Hayes and Howard Hopalong Cassiday when I was 8 years old. I d even like Big 10 buddies, I can sing On Wisconsin and Hail to the Victors Valiant as well as Carmen Ohio. My friend from Petosky Mich made me sing it every year OSU lost to them!

It's just a mental thing u have to remeber you will be on all liquids and people will notice you are not eatting and getting in the routine. I know people who did the two weeks I myself wasn't prepared for what I was up against

      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. 🤞
