just stumbled on the site, and am soooo happy to have found you all. i'm now 11 days until surgery, and am happy and nervous! was just telling my sister how i can feel determined that this is the right thing and feeling like it's too drastic all in the same thought. when i really know it's the right thing, i just want to eat something other than Protein shakes! but my presergery weight loss is going well, except getting all the Water down in a day. and i think i'm feeling its easier to do things, or maybe i'm more motivated.

anyway, glad to find you all. you ask great questions!

Welcome, I have been on this site for a month now, and have learned so much. I feel more comfortable with the surgery after reading so many of the posts on here. If you have any questions you have come to the right place. I'm still at the I don't know when I'm going to have my surgery stage, but am reading the posts, and becoming more familiar with the surgery every day. Good luck with your surgery.

      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.
