Hey my name is Tori I'm 23 and live in Missouri and am currently waiting to get my approval. I don't have much support and so I am turning to all of you and if I can get just a little bit of advice from anyone and maybe some support that would be amazing!

Thank You

I have fought for support from my family and friends for a while now. I have finally realized that I am doing this for my health and to help my family more in the long run. My husband isn't thrilled that I am doing this but at least he has stopped trying to talk me out of it. I have surgery scheduled Wednesday morning and I am nervous, scared, excited. I have also stayed away from the negative attitude and comments from what was a close friend of mine. I have always been the "fat" friend and I don't think that she can handle that I'm not going to be that anymore. Good luck with your decision and if you decide that it is right for you then stick to your guns and don't listen to the negatives. Best wishes.

      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.
