I had my sleeve done two weeks ago before that two weeks of liquid diet . I have lost a total of 30 lbs. , twenty were on the liquid diet pre-op stage . You are probably looking at two weeks more liquid diet following surgery . I see my doctor for my first follow up tomorrow. Hopefully get moved to next phase of post op diet .

That’s who’s doing my procedure. Are you pleased?



Very much so. He took a lot of time answering my questions and never made me feel rushed. He was very patient. The procedure itself went well and no complications so far! I would definitely recommend him to anyone considering wls.

In process with Bagshahi - anyone know if they weigh you when you go do your Quest labs? I’m in such a precarious position where I cannot gain or lose in order for insurance to approve. It’s making me crazy! Lol

They did not weigh me at Quest. I could be wrong, but I think they submit the original weight from your first appointment. Dr. Bagshahi’s office is very familiar with insurance requirements and they will do what they can to help get it approved.

I’m doing okay. I’m struggling to get in my Protein everyday, but no major complaints. My biggest issue right now is the Vitamins. I hate the taste of them and they make me feel bad after I take them. My NUT told me to hold off another week before taking them. She said I could wait until week 2 to try again. What vitamins do you use?

      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.
