So I went to see my surgeon this morning at 10am to weigh in and get my first fill. I couldn't believe the size of the needle he came at me with. IT WAS HUGE!!!, and I'm a nurse so I'm used to needlesblink.gif. It didn't hurt at all, just a small little pinch and a some pressure but no pain. I've lost 18.5 pounds since surgery on March 28th, 2 pants sizes and no longer need the extenders for my brabiggrin.gif. I can almost get back into my levi jeans tongue.gif. He only gave me 2cc's and told me to stay on liquids today, soft food tomorrow, then back to normal on Saturday. I'm so excited and feel soooo much better than I did 4 weeks ago. I guess I need to check out some consignment shops for some summer clothes cause I'm not buying any brand new clothes anytime soon. Thanks for all the words of encouragement and support I've received so far, I'm so glad I found this forum. Hopefully I can lose another 12-18 lbs in the next 5 weeks until my next appointment.

      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.
