Good for you! Don't be scared to death. Be thrilled for LIFE!!!!!!!!! I haven't had mine yet, but so understand the anxiety effect of planning for this big step! Look at this as one huge adventure. Prayers out there for you and I know you'll be writing to us soon.

I will fly to San Diego tonight then go to Tijuana tomorrow morning and have my surgery with Dr. Corvala . I will fly home Saturday. Please keep me and the wife in your prayers. I am scared to death..Johnny

I just came from there (VSG). Everything will be fine. You will be surprised as to how fast you will stat to feel better. The first 2 days are uncomfortable but nothing that you cannot manage, especially with your wife at your side. If you feel that you are too anxious, ask them for a little benzo. It worked wonders with me. Calming vibes going your way. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Good luck and best wishes Johnny!!! Positive thoughts and prayers are being sent your way ;-) It's perfectly normal to have anxiety. You will do great. Please post when you are able to.

      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.
