Hello all I'm new to the forum, just to introduce myself I'm 33 5'5" 293 and have been battling with my weight fot at least the past 12 years, so I finally said enough is enough about 3 months ago my wife and I started the process together and we are BOTH scheduled for surgery next Wednesday May11th, so I'm trying to do some last minute reading and things, I must admit I'm nervous, was there anyone else who started to get cold feet before and if you could share anything it would be welcomed. Thanks in advance!

Welcome! You and your wife are going to do great!!! I think it's normal to be a little anxious, however if you've researched your surgeon, you have to TRUST that you are in good hands! It will be so helpful that you have a co-pilot to go thru this with. Stay strong and keep us updated!!

Congrats! It is going to make things so much easier doing it together. Apprehension is a normal thing, no one wants to be cut open and start a new life with no first hand knowledge of what to expect.

Congrats to both of you and welcome to the forum. I know I am getting both nervous and excited the closer my date approaches. I am a few days after y'all on 5/16. Let us know how things go, and I hope you both have a quick and easy recovery!

      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.
