Recommended Posts

Hi there - I am scheduled on January 28th ... I moved it from November 18th just last week, as panicked how I would cope through the holiday season away from home as well. So get home from holiday, 2 weeks fluids then all go! Excited... New Year, new me yay! Cant wait to get healthy. I am 58 and booked in for this 5 years ago, then chickened out, so no going back this time 🙂

Yes! I'm tentatively scheduled for January 22, 2021. I'm 5'5" with a starting weight of 240-243 lbs (fluctuates) at 36 y/o. I'm excited and nervous but mostly excited!

I am 5’3 and I am 200 ugh!!! I am so excited and nervous to have the surgery. I think I am more nervous about the flight . Flying from the east coast to the west coast. I have been reading so many positive things about the Doctor, that I feel I have made the best choice. Oh yeah I am scheduled for January 4th. Where are you coming from?

Hi SC Girl ... we are almost exactly the same I am 91 kgs which is 200lbs and I am 5’2”... I am 58 tho should have done this earlier. I am in New Zealand. My surgery is the 28th January so a way off. This is such a big decision so am also feeling very anxious but everyone say they wish they had it earlier and has been the best thing so let’s go for it!!

That is awesome that you made the decision. How long will your flight be? New Zealand, Wow! That is such an amazing place. I have done so many diets. I Actually have not told anyone about my surgery. I just did not want to hear the backlash. My husband, my best friend and my children are the only one that know about it. I have searched the website for anything negative about the Doctor, and team that I chose to do the surgery, and I have not found one thing. So this gives me great hope, its still pretty scary, but I think it will be fine. I’m worried about my flight, mine will be nothing compared to yours. Good Luck to you!

I actually live in NZ so no flight at all! I am lucky. I have told quite a few friends ... just felt I needed the support and I don’t think any will judge me... am doing it for my health which is going to be great. Good luck to you too, it’s going to be great, new year new us!

Actually, my date just changed, and I am on December 1 now. Hoping the date doesn't change again.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
