Mine is on the 29th I start my preop Saturday, am so scared n excited this is all I think about 24/7. There is so much going on in my family right now I feel like this going to be a long and hard road, but am ready somewhat. I know I can't be fully ready for this process even if I tried. I just keep telling myself imagine yourself a year from now you won't be here, you won't feel unhealthy you won't feel this joint pain you are in all the time. Is the little things that keeps me going as scared I am about this change in my life as unready I feel, I know the only thing that can go wrong from here on is a better faster happier me. And for that I have already proved I am willing to do anything by making this choice. Good luck to all you brave souls, lets do this!!! ????????

This scares me I knew I was "fat" by the time I was 8, I knew everyone was smaller then I was and they can do things faster then me. But I never had a test in school thank god I could not imagine going throw that as a child. Now I worry so much for my 10yr old I don't think she is fat, she is taller n a bit bigger than the other kids in her class and I would not went her to be put in a position where she is weight at school. I never talk about weight around her or say anything about dieting, now that I am having the surgery I tell her "mom is going to change her eating habits and eat better". I never want her to have the food n body issues I have I just don't know how I can keep her from it all seeing the way people deal with weight n children.

Mine is also on the 29th but it is in Mexico, Is crazy how time just want by. Is so close now good luck hope all goes well for you. [emoji4]

My sleeve is scheduled for the 29th and am nervous and excited. But my family is starting to have me question myself, when I first told them I was doing this they seemed supportive. But now at the 11th hour they are all saying "oh are you sure you wanna do this?" "You should try something else?" "What if something goes wrong?". And so on which as me sound guessing myself, I am already nervous n scared this is not what I need right now. I don't want to change my mind about this but they are really getting to me. Have any of you had same thing happened to you and how did you deal with it? I could really use some advice. P.s. As anyone used waist trainers and had less stomach skin after the weight loss, anyone know if they work for that?? Thank you all in advance you all are so kind.

Don't buy the Ninja I had it and it is not worth the money. I have the nutribullet which I love it is amazing, it goes for 65$ at Walmart I believe.

Thank you all so much. People like you is why I am so happy I found this place, I don't think I could have gone this far with out all the support and amazing stories here that I read everyday. I know this is somethings I need and as much as life after the sleeve scares me because of the unknown, I know it is a way better life then the one I am "living" now which is not much of a life. As of last night I told my family that this wasn't an easy decision and that cutting 80% of my stomach wasn't something I wanted and decided to have over night. That this was going to happen and I would love their support, but if not it was still going to happen. Thank you all again I can't wait to be on the other side.

Congratulations! We are a day apart Mine is on March 29th. Good luck

@@Afrikanaaa my journey is good so far I been wanting to do WLS since September, but been putting it off I started wanting the lap band but changed my mind do to all the up keep that comes with it. Now I have finally decided on the sleeve which I have scheduled for March 29th, am excited and scared but I know this is what is best for me. Now is just mentally getting myself ready for the real journey to start.

Congratulations

My surgery is on March 28th, and my number one fear is that I hate to cook I hate to plan meals. I am afraid that once I get the sleeve I won't be able to eat healthy or plan my meals, and I will not be able to lose the weight. I know this is going to take time,I know I have to do this for myself and focus but I also know to break old habits it is going to take time. I just don't want to fail. I don't want to do this for no reason. What are or were your fears? And how did you over come them?

Thanks everyone for your advice and ideas, this is why I love this place so much support and understanding. I know this is something I want n need is going to take sometime to get use to the changes, but I am so looking forward to the future and all the things I will be able to do that I can't do now. Am willing to put everything I have to better myself in every aspect of my life.

@@CanadaLoser I understand all of ur feelings, I feel the exact same way mine is March 28th and is all I think about one day I feel like I am ready and one day I feel like I am not. Good luck hope all goes well.

@@sassyfrass23 Yaya so happy for you keep me updated on how everything thing goes for you. Good luck ????

I am having my surgery on March 28th , and am so scared of all the unknown of failing yet again. But I know I need this for my health and happiness. Today I got another reason, a friend of mine invited my kids to a play date with some of her other friends n their kids and the first think I thought about was how big I am and what they will think of me. I have never been a person to care what others think of me but in the last two years I have put on so much weight, I don't want to see anyone. I guess am just feeling down and wish I had done this a long time ago, maybe today I wouldn't be feel so bad about myself....

@@Valentina thank you so much, you are so right my kids happiness come before anything else. And now that I am finally getting my life back on track I can find some self happiness too. ????

Thank you for the information i appreciate it. Good luck to you too. ????

I feel the same way. I been trying to lose weight all my life but it never worked just got worse. And now I have this amazing chance to finally do something that can change my life forever and I am so scared of the unknown. I am scared of failing yet again I am scared that my love for food would over come me, and I would have went throw with this for no reason. But the decision is final I want to live for me for my husband, for my kids. And this is my last chance to change I won't let food take that away from me, I don't want to live the rest of my life in this much physical and emotional pain. I know is not easy but stay positive and focused and in time you will see that you did do it, that you did over come everything holding you back. Good luck....

Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply, means a lot. Am ready to finally change my life, am ready to not be in pain anymore am ready to start living my life. I feel like I haven't really lived in the 30yrs I have been on this planet. And the journey begins!! ????

Hi am new to this, and need help. I am 30yrs old and a mother of 4, my weight is 320lbs and this is the biggest I have been. I have tried to lose wait many times the lightest I have been was 195lb at 18. I have not not been under 200lbs in 12yrs, and in the last 5yrs my body has really started to breakdown. I don't have any medical illnesses but I have A LOT of back pain n joint pain I can barely walk without out being in pain and out of breath. The pain brings me to tears. I know if I don't change my live ASAP that I won't be able to walk in the next year, because of all the pain I am in. So know that I have finally told myself this is the only way to save my life I am scared to go throw with it. I know I NEED this surgery is not a WANT for me because I don't want to cut my stomach to go throw pain but I NEED to. But am I ready to give up foods I love so much I know food is what got me here, but am I truly ready? I don't know am scared am confused, am lost and feel hopeless. Am scared if I do this life changing thing and still fail, still not be able to control myself am scared I won't even pass the pre op and won't be able to do the liquid diet and to lose my deposit. I want to just do it close my eyes and jump, but I don't know if that is the right way to go about it or not. If anyone can give me advice I would really appreciate it, and am sorry if this doesn't make sense.

I am the same as you. I been looking which doctors in Mexico are the best, I have decided to go with the Mexicali Bariatric Center but I don't know which dr yet am still doing research. If anyone has used this Center any information would be great. Good luck hopefully you will find the right doctor.
