The surgery is really not bad at all! I had never had any kind of surgery either, never broken a bone, no teeth pulled, like nothing lol. I had surgery on the 4th. The whole process was quick and seemed very relaxed to everyone! You will do great, so try not to worry about it :)

Thanks:) the hardest thing for me thru this whole process is quitting smoking cigarettes I have smoked for 8 years, but I will say the last 3 weeks I have smoked 1 every other day but not always, going from smoking about a half a pack a day to 1 us very good for me ,it just seems to calm my nerves. Has anybody else had a problem quitting??? If u did quit how?

Anyone else having problems getting in 3 Protein shakes a day?

I'm supposed to drink 5! Maybe they are smaller than yours though. Mine are 160 calories and the size of a juice box. I can usually get them all in, but I also get no food.

I know it must be a bit tough. I always have a let down after the event I've anticipated has come and gone. That plus "this is now real" must be hard. Just imagine a room full of us cheering you on! We've all made courageous decisions, I think. We should be applauded for our determination!

I know how you are feeling lisamase, I had surgery the day after you did, everyday seems to be difficult so far, We just have to remember that it will all be worth it in the end! :)

Hang in there, I cannot even imagine the roller coaster ride you are going through post surgery emotionally and physically. I know you will do amazing.

      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.

      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.
