I'm so depressed! I was scheduled to be banned Friday but can't because I broke my ankle and the doc is worried about blood clots. I'm glad he's looking out for me but just disappointed.

I've been with the broken ankle for 3 weeks now I have to do another 3. I cried and cried when the doctor told me. Today my blood pressure was the best it's been in 2 years. I felt like everything was going great. I'm really disappointed but I do know its for the best.

Can the not put in the filter? I had the option of having it installed if I wanted before the surgery to filter out any clots.

Tomorrows Surgery day for me too!!!...I woke up early this morning with my mind racing and thinking about surgery... A little nervous but not scared!! Focusing on other things help .... I might go to a movie tonight to keep my mind occupied...... On Clear Liquids only yesterday and today and had to deal with passing out Halloween candy yesterday!!! So tempting but I was good!!... Hoping I did my job well these last two weeks and lost some fat around my liver.... I'm down 10 lbs or maybe a little more ( my scale is untrustworthy.. Lol)

Good luck tomorrow and heal well!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
