My surgery is set for Jan 4.

I just got my bloodwork done today but still have ecg and physical to do Friday. I feel nervous because my deadline for those is dec 14. I guess that's just me though, worry lots. Like something going to go wrong. I'm also worried, And anxious about the pre-op diet. I start dec 21...

I just want to get everything in order and on the operating table already. Bring on the new year!

Thankful I found this app, feel like there's a lot of support ❤️

I'll be a 2017er! My waiting period is 89 days and my first appointment was November 23rd. I'll be eligible in February and will likely do it around March.

I know that seems so long but the time will go by fast. I first started looking into this with my current doctor was last December and it seems like it was last month I inquired about the surgery. What helped me pass the time was getting information, watching youtube and making sure I am mentally and emotionally prepared for this journey after surgery.

>I will I don't have the date yet I'm hoping in January : )

I hope you are able to get your January date!

January 5th in Tijuana! I think I saw one other gal with the same date! Ive been so excited, but as soon as December hit I started freaking out and getting nervous. Trying not to think too much about it besides that it'll all be worth it in the end, trying to stay positive!

I am hoping to have my sleeve done in May. My insurance requires 12 months of family doctor visits before paperwork can be sent for approval. I have had 7 visits so far.

      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. 🤞
