Hi, I am new here and won't continue posting much since I will now undergo another type of surgery (sleeve gastrectomy)

However, I just have to stress the importance of getting those underarm lumps/lesions cheked out by your PCP or GYN doctor. I lost my mother to breast cancer about 13 years ago and she did first present with underarm lumps (which are swollen lymph nodes) they can also present on your neck and of course your breasts. This is just to make sure there is nothing wrong, I don't mean to scare you. It just sounds odd about the lumps. I wish you well.

I agree you should get that checked out. I had a lump under my right arm a few years back, come to find out after they removed it and tested it, it was just a fatty lipoma. Even so I am glad i had it checked out. Good Luck to ya.

my daughter would get those when she was stressed and sometimes when she had flu, dr told her its body's reaction.

      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.
