I'm in West Bloomfield, and had my RNY on 3/21/2016 with Dr. Weiner at Huron Valley Sinai Hospital in Commerce.

Where are you having your surgery? Who is your surgeon?

I feel pretty good about the actual surgery but I'm worried about afterwards. I've read that a lot of people get really depressed afterwards. And, as weird as this might sound, I've never been anything but obese so I don't know how I'm going to handle that.

You will do fine. I was nervous for the surgery but it was nothing. I never had any pain meds. I was sore but it wasn't so bad that I couldn't handle it. The barium for the leak test (I had to do it twice) is some of the nastiest stuff I have ever had to drink.

      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.
