After lurking about on this site for awhile, this is my first post. I'm pleased to say that I've been approved for surgery on August 30th and would like to be added to the August roll call. WooHoo - I'm so excited! Thanks for sharing your stories. I've learned so much and look forward to continued suggestions and support.

Why is it people on the outside only focus on how much you lose and not that the time right after surgery is for healing not loosing weight? Its like they expect the weight to just disappear. Yeah I would like that to, but thats not realistic. It tales time and life style change.

Exactly! I was banded on 8/14 and went back to work today. I noticed that everyone that looked at me stared at my stomach! Then...one man (jerk) said "well I see that the boobs go first!"

I was able to start eating regular foods early on and would have loved to have lost more weight than I did, but I have lost!

I think that you made a great point because we need to heal and prepare our bodies for change.

Take Care!

      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.
