Of course it's nerve wreaking - this is a big decision....I just got banded last Friday and I can just tell you from my experience- its over before you know it....and the weight loss begins! I'm down five pounds and I am looking forward to continuing that trend -as my husband says: It has to work....not possible for it not too....

So keep your chin up! I'm sure you will love it....:)

I had those thoughts the day before surgery...it was becoming more and more real. I got the surgery on Tuesday and everything went well. I'm still not hungry and I had to force myself to watch some broth and a popsicle. I do feel better this morning...but not 100%

I'm about a year out from my surgery, and I felt the same way when I started out. Luckily, my process went very quickly so I didn't have a lot of time to freak out. LOL I've never had any regrets and this has been a life changer for me. Just follow your doctor's orders and get a good support system going. You'll do great and it'll be over in no time. :)

      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.
