May Surgery Buddies?



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for RNY on May 15. I’ve been calling the doctor and they haven’t had any answers for me about whether or not the surgery would be postponed. But I got the call from the hospital pre-op saying I am on for the 15th! I’m so nervous! Anyone else having RNY in May? (I’m 41, starting weight is 255.)

My surgery is now cancelled. 😭 I don’t understand why the hospital called me on Friday to confirm, and now the doctor is calling me today to cancel. But there’s nothing I can do. So disappointing!!

Oh no!!! I’m so sorry! (Hugs) did they give you any reason? I’m sure it’s for your safety but that doesn’t change the disappointment! I keep holding my breath not at all sure mine won’t be canceled too!

      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. 🤞
