My nerves are a mess. I'm excited and so nervous at the same time. I'm about to start a huge new journey in my life and I'm doing to alone. No one knows but the girl who told me about it and a friend that doesn't live near me. Just nervous!!!

Being nervous is normal, but you're going to do great! I had mine in January and I have absolutely no regrets.

I had mine 4 yrs ago & like you kept it private it's so much easier keeps people from asking you all the time " how much have you lost" it saved my life I had many medical issues and would do it again , you will be so happy with the results it's not always easy - but what is? I can tie my shoes now and have a new life will be praying for you

I had mine May 10th and have lost 38 lbs. I only told a select few and probably wont tell many more. You'll do great, I find that I do better when I visit this site a few times a day, it just gives me a little boost. Just remember your first month you may not have much of a weight loss even though you'll be taking in very little calories. This is your healing time and use it for that. No regrets here.

Its also helpful to make a ticker like you see at the bottom of alot of these posts. That way, you watch your results. I look at other peoples tickers, it encourages me.

      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

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
