I age 32, 160cm height and 93kg weight. Today I met my Bariatric Surgeon for my Hiatal Hernia repair. Then he suggest me to do anti-reflux surgery together with gastric plication surgery. I not so well know about this gastric plication surgery. Doctor said I should lose weight... I not a big eater... maybe i ate too much high calories foods... Should I listen to my surgeon to do gastric plication?

You're asking strangers on the internet if you should do body altering, mind altering, life altering surgery? Maybe you should, you know, think about this yourself.

You should probably get a second opinion from a different physician.

First, the surgeon suggest me to do gastric sleeve but my insurance did not cover weight loss operation. Then he suggest to do gastric plication as this can charge in my insurance while doing anti reflux operation. 2 weeks later i will have a endoscopy to make sure again my hiatal hernia situation before proceed and decide which operation i go. FYI, i not yet marry... I do not wish any of these operation effect my future married life. So i need some of ur guys opinion or suggestions or comments bout this. Thank you.

      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
