@cut.the.vs My consultation is on the 30th as well. Maybe we will have our surgeries around the same time!

Hello all, I’m a newbie too. My seminar was on 1/27 and my first consult was on 1/31/23. Maybe we will get the surgery around the same time? How was your appointment?

@nettyd My consultation went well. He went over my health history. I currently have hypertension and taking 2 meds for it. So I have to see a cardiologist next month. I have to do an at home sleep study as well. I have to take a class called baratric beginnings on March 20th. We also discussed my goals and realistic expectations with vsg. He answered every last one of my questions, comments, and concerns. How did it go for U?

@cut.the.vs My appointment went well. They went over everything with me and suggested the sleeve for me. I have to do one visit a month for four months with the dietitian. They said if I miss any appointments then everything starts all over. I have my Psych evaluation next month, I already have my gallbladder removed which they said is good. I don’t have to do a sleep study as of right now since I don’t have sleep apnea, they said they may make me do that but as of right now I don’t. They also advised me I will 30 days prior to my surgery and 30 days after I will need to stop my oral contraceptive due to blood clot risk or I could switch to the IUD which is what I’m going to do. I had my appointment for that today and should get that inserted in about two to three weeks. My dietitian also wants me to read a book called Intuitive Eating which I have started and it’s very interesting. I suggest reading that.

      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. 🤞
