Recommended Posts

I just got my surgery date scheduled for April 27th!! I am so excited, nervous, scared, and sad all at the same time. Why am I crying? I know I am doing the right thing here but I have soooo many emotions.

I have been overweight all my life and now and I am 126 pounds overweight and feel like I need this tool in order to help become a healthier me. Is it normal to feel sad like this?

One more thought: I personally think that elective surgery is an overwhelmong thought in itself. But, like you, trying to lose a great deal of weight, over and over, is about as overwhelming a task and thought as it gets! We're going to feel so much better! Stay busy------you're going to be so happy.

HiP hIp HoOrAy!!! That is awesome news... :D

I just recently got my date too it's for April 4th. I know exactly what you are talking about. It's crazy how you can feel sooo many different emotions at one time and it can be very much overwhelming. You just need a little time to process it give it the rest of the day...

How exciting. I'm a little anxious as well.

My surgery date is April 8th and I'm glad to see there are a few others on the same day or around it.

I'm new to the site but I have been following and reading for over a month now. I find it very informative.

      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.
