Oh man, the time has finally come! I'm heading to the hospital in seven hours..and should be sleeved in 12...

Good luck to everyone else tomorrow!

Any ideas on how many lbs I should be losing weekly? And....do you think it would be possible for me to get to goal by summer? I'm 217 now...would love to be around 120...yeesh that's a lot of weight...

Best of luck today I had my surgery on Tuesday and let's just say the past few days have been pretty rough. I am off to a whole new me so every pain is worth it. Talk to you once you make it through.

Your weight history and weight today for surgery 217 same as mine. I had surgery on Jan 6th and am down to 207. That's 10 pounds in 2 weeks exactly. We are lightweights and may lose a little slower than some. Compare yourself to no one. This is a marathon not a race - your body will dictate weight loss and changes.

Follow your Dr's orders and diet and you will succeed! Sending my best wishes and prayers your way this week. Have a wonderful journey, save surgery, healthy and uneventful recovery!

Hugs

Kim

      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.
