Mine is scheduled for April 25th. I'm super excited but nervous too!

I'm on the 10th and feel exactly the same way...very excited and nervous, too. I can't wait or the 10th to get here, but am scared, too. This has all happened kind of fast. I saw the dr last fall and then put off seeing the psychiatrist. I finally decided to see him and made an apt for Mar 25th. A few days later, the surgeons office called and BAM I'm scheduled for surgery! Kind of a whirlwind after a lot of feet dragging! I am ready tho. So glad that I don't have to go thru this alone.

I started the process in October of last year. It all went pretty quick until every thing got submitted to insurance then it slowed way down. It felt like it took forever to get approval. But it finally was :). I got a call last friday to schedule my surgery date and now I can't wait I want the 25th to be here. Lol. Good luck with yours, keep me posted on how it goes :)

Hi , I bet you are ready. I started to have the procedure 3 years ago and change my mind because I wanted to give the weight loss one last chance with diet and exercise. No luck. So I went for my nutritional visit and I have my psy eval on Wednesday. I hoping to have everything in place for June and I will have the summer to get in order before I gobkack to work

      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.
