I JUST LOVE NEWBIES! IT BRINGS BACK THAT FEELING WE ALL HAD AT ONCE PRIOR TO OUR SURGERIES! I think it really helps hearing the stories and journies of newbies. It sort of brings us back to that major rush of how life changing it is. I am getting the band removed and getting sleeve on May 1st so hearing your excitement helps me a lot. I am having it removed because I have a leak and my body does like the port. I don't want to scare you. Nothing bad happened. Its just a personal decision I made. Plus I will find it less costly in the future from the fills. Everyone is different and I am sure you will do great! I love your count down...think I will go make my chart too. A time chart and a weight loss chart. I put a big WL chart on the back of my bedroom door. Just for me eyes only. You will be so thankful you had it. First day or two your sore, especially where the port is at. That is normal, I found walking right away helped a lot in my healing process. Yes, there were days I didn't want to get up, but that's what the meds are for. Use them if you need them to get up and walk. Keep us posted, I am excited for you..Welcome.

I love the idea on a weight loss chart! Gonna go make one up and and measurements for inches. Might even put today's clothing size and as it gets smaller.

I need that motivation to remind me to move it! Thanks Hoover!

      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. 🤞
