I absoutely love watching the You Tube vlogs of weight loss surgery journeys. They have been inspiring, entertaining, and so informative that I feel I will know better how to handle the surgery and post op experiences.

If you are You Tubing - tell me! I will subscribe and watch!

I ventured into it myself yesterday as I want to pay it forward.

Mine:

Tell me- tell me yours!

Heyy there. I will watch your video later today when I get home. I'm Posting from my phone for now but I believe you will still be able to see my signature below. The link to my YouTube channel should be in there some where. :-) (if it's not search BonnieJuneE and you should be able to find it.)

CONGRATS and I can't wait to watch your journey. :-)

I watch A LOT of video's on Youtube. Seeing everyone's success and gave me the courage to seek out the vsg. i continue to do research using YT, this forum and anywhere else I can find info. If I hadn't found all the youtubers, I doubt I'd be on this journey. So I'm grateful to them all.

I hear ya! Every night before I fall asleep (and while getting used to my CPAP machine that takes awhile!) I watch video after video. When I find a new person I watch all their videos- I guess I just want to honor the fact that they have bothered. I have gained so much information about the real story of someone having this surgery, as opposed to the concept of it I had before.

Between that and this forum I feel so supported!

I have watched you all the way to week 12 so far! Actually believe it or not I ha not thought of using unflavored Protein powder in other things so , yes, you have already helped me!

Not to mention I am jealous of you having such a relatively easy recovery- and had a good giggle picturing you sitting cross legged on the hospital bed being told to lie down!

Awwwwwwww!! Thaaaanks!!!! I love hearing from those who watched my viids!!

I have started yours from the first- I'm like that- I like to follow from the beginning.

I love that we can use our iPhones- I was in the prep room waiting to be taken for my colonoscopy this morning and my husband got th idea I should do my second vlog- out the phone came and I sad a few words and voila- Video #2.

I need some guidance about how to insert photos or captions- is there a tutorial somewhere?

      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.

      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.
