I'm glad someone wrote about this. I'm actually dying to have kids. I just turned 30 and I've been waiting for things to fall into place (get a job, get a house, lose weight) b4 i have kids. But here I am at 30 and none of that has happened for me. I was like forget it, i just want a baby. So I went to my endo (i have pcos) he said he would rather me weigh less but it wasn't impossible to have a baby at my weight. but i told him i was starting to contemplate WLS. The lap band to be exact. He was super duper supportive. He thought it would be the best thing for me and he rooted for me to get it. However he told me I should get gastric bypass and not the sleeve. I was NOT cool with that. Then he said you know what you should get actually, the new one, whats it called, the sleeve. And I didn't really do research on it so I was like no. lol. But now that i've looked into it I'm dead set on the sleeve.

But he told me he has a patient who had bypass and is pregnant now and she's doing just great! Also I spoke to a girl on OH that is pregnant now after she got her sleeve. I'm so anxious to get the sleeve so i can loose weight and have kids already! I want 2 or 3 kids. I wanted more but realistically i don't know if it will happen because i wanted to space them 3-4 years apart and i'm already 30. not to mention by the time i get the sleeve and get to the point where doctors say its ok to have kids i'll probably 32 or 33. way later than i wanted to have kids. i feel like right now i'm running out of time. i want babies! lol.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
