Newark, DE here! My doctor is Dr. Halbert. My consultation was on 10/11. I have scheduled my all appointments and should be done the middle of November! I would love to meet up!

I have Dr. Halbert too. I live in New Castle.

Have you received your date yet? Curious how far out surgery is scheduled for after getting insurance approval.

My medical clearance appointment is on January 2nd. Hoping for a late January surgery, but that might be too optimistic.

@RJS109
I just wrapped up the life skills class on Thursday (due to the snow the week of Thanksgiving and holidays).

I requested a ‘phantom’ date for surgery for employment purposes. So, I have a date for late January that may change.

My meeting with the nurse practitioner is scheduled for 12/5. I will need to schedule the appointment for the medical clearance but they do not see a problem.

Excited! How about you?

I can’t wait. I would have done it months ago, but my insurance requires 6 months of nutrition classes. All I have left are the 3 life skills classes, one more nutrition class, and the medical clearance.

I’m having bypass, btw.

I am having gastric sleeve surgery! Very informative classes (life skills). The time 6-8 pm stinks 😞 especially after working all day with two toddlers at home.

I know how you feel, I have a 3 year old.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
