Hi Stephanie840910

I have been joined since 2014. But I hadn't been on the site in forever. I am from ROSEBURG, OREGON. I had my RNY July 2, 2013. I had it in COOS BAY, OREGON. Which is 2 hours from where I live. The Surgeon I had turned out to be not so good. Well, he was a great surgeon but lack or I should say S**Ked without any bedside manners. Oh well, I'm great anyhow!!

I think you're cool shedo82773 thanks for coming back to all us newbies, we need your wisdom. And I think your surgeon has a nephew in Columbus Ohio where I'm gonna go. Great surgeon but I call him the Rabid Gila monster, warm and cuddly he ain't. I lookat it as I won't be sleeping with him j

Not sleeping with them is true but....he wanted to follow my journey ( well not just mine but all of his pts) for 5 years, so he can use it as DATA. So he looks like he is so successful. When I had problems with strictures he was done with me then my hubby had a failed revision from his Lap-Band to an RNY he became severely ill and the A** HAT totally dropped him in his worse time of need. He called us PROBLEM CHILDREN!!! I feel like our journies messed with his PERFECT DATA!!! I actually kind of fired him!! I went to a CENTER OF EXCELLENCE in Portland a little further than COOS BAY but oh so worth it!! So basically we are kind of connected to them for our follow up. I was told that it is hard to get someone to clean up another Dr's mistakes but THANK GOODNESS we found someone who cares and is there for us if needed. The further out we get the less we need our Surgeon. I have my PCP order my blood work and then have it faxed to PORTLAND. It works for me!! LOL

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
