Surgery will be August 15



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I am scheduled for surgery August 15. I am very excited but also a bit jittery. Planning to be stoic about all this. I am looking forward to getting this extra weight off me.

My doctor is John Debarros in Phoenix/Tempe Arizona. He specializes in both types of weight loss surgery.

I am scheduled for August 15th, too! Just 2 days away. Like you, I am a little nervous.....I guess it is normal to question some things....like

will it work? what if I don't loose the weight? will I be hungry (especially the first 2 weeks after surgery)?

Good luck...and let's keep in touch with our progress

Hi Patrick, Good to hear from you. I, too, am afraid I will be the one who mysteriously doesn't lose weight. Oh, but that isn't realistic. I will be thinking of you, well maybe, before the slip the happy juice into my veins.

It's the beginning of a new way of life for us. healthier and slimmer. Good luck to you. Keep in touch.

I have been told that I will be uncomfortable very uncomfortable the day after surgery. So tell your friends to lay low that day.

Bryn

      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.
