Hello! My surgery is scheduled for November 6th. I had my last appointment before my surgery this morning. I've managed to lose 7 lbs. over the last couple of weeks. I'm hoping to lose more before the surgery.

Hi Capricorn32: I hope you remember me. We wrote a few times. I see you don't have your "Notorious Novembers" image in your signature. Did you get my message about how to do it? If not...or if the instructions weren't clear...I am certainly still willing to help you. Hope you are well!

At last I can join you all. I wasn't sure if I would be a November or December, so I've just been lurking. My surgery date is November 13, and I've already been on a pre-op diet since my consultation last Saturday. I'm so excited.

Looking forward to getting to know you all,

Karen

Good morning fellow Notorious Novembers! :biggrin::biggrin::blush::biggrin:

I've been scheduled for my surgery on Monday, November 17th! I am so blessed - I had previously been approved for vacation the week of Thanksgiving, and with my surgery scheduled for November 17th, that means I'll have two weeks of recovery time! :w00t:

I'm so excited! I started this process in August, completed the nutritionist consult and the psych consult in September, and attended a info session in October. I was hoping to be banded in October, but this works out well because of the timing.

I'm happy to finally have a date and to introduce myself to the rest of the Notorious Novembers! :w00t:

Hey Jes I am also in the Lansing area! Who is doing your surgery?

I'm going with Dr. Yenemula at Sparrow. Are you going through Ingham?

Hi everyone! I'll be joining the Notorious Novembers on the 19th and I can't wait! After having my original date in September cancelled due to insurance problems, I was thrilled to get my UHC approval last Monday and a firm surgery date later that day.....best of luck to ALL OF US!!!:) (I may need instructions on the sparkly label thing!)

      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. 🤞
