Don't cry, but I understand your nervous. Its a major life change. This time for the better!!! I love what a FLORIDAYS said, "see you on the other side". It will feel so good to be in control. That is what my band gave to me. You will be ok, and each day is a journey. Take it one day at a time and enjoy your new chapter in life. It can only get better for you. Imagine a year from now, we all know how fast time goes, just think postive and your dream will be yours. Keep us posted and never be afraid to spill your feelings. That is what we are here for. To support one another. AS we all know ones who don't struggle with weight don't understand. The day I know I was discriminated against for a job I felt like I was going shribble up and die. I will not let my weight define who I am. I know who I am, I am a good person, good wife, good mom, a good friend and try the best I can. Thats all we can ask for ourselves. I was blessed to have the lap band and insurance paid for it. I look forward to hearing from you. Will be thinking of you in the days ahead. I JUST LOVE THIS SITE....

      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
