Best if Luck to you my surgery was going to be on 9/4, but I had to reschedule cause I came down with a sinus infection and Bronchitus the day I started the liquid diet....not nice! I was on so many meds I decided to push it to 9/18. Hope all goes well!!

Alex, good luck tomorrow! My surgery is on Thursday and I know how you feel about being excited, but really nervous too. I know that's normal. We just have to remind ourselves that we've done our research and made an informed decision and this is the beginning of an exciting, healthy new life. We can do it!

Thanks so much everyone! Surgery went good. I have to stay overnight :( which I was not expecting. And I'm in a lot of pain but hopefully that gets better soon! Thanks again.

Hi Alex, let your doc and staff take care of you. Hopefully, you will get home today.

I see you are another Alabama girl. I am from Jacksonville. Where are you from?

Alex,

From one young bandster to another (or so it appears!) congratulations on making the leap! I had my surgery in April and it was hands down the best decision I ever made for myself! Follow the rules and take each day as it comes and you will do great! It's already changed my life and I am so grateful! Best of luck!

      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.
