Hi,

Yea!!! I found some people in Maryland. I live in Baltimore County. I am having my surgery on Monday :D

@Earthchick97. I am having my surgery at Holy Cross Hospital. It's about 1 hour from my home. I wish I could have my surgery at a closer hospital. Since our surgery dates are so close, it would be nice to have you as a buddy. Are you on a liquid diet now? JH is a wonderful hospital. Best of luck to you.

@Dawn - are you still loving your sleeve? I am a little nervous. I would love to ask you some questions. Now that my surgery is right around the corner, I just wonder what's next. What should I expect. Any tips or advice that you could share would be wonderful. I could really use a mentor.

Have a wonderful day,

Toyia

Hey!

I'm in Silver Spring Md and I will be having my sleeve 3/6/12 in Portsmouth, VA. I'd love to talk to anyone else who is going through the process of getting sleeved or has already been sleeved. I've fought so hard with the military hospital system and now that I have my date, it's kind of hard to wrap my head around it. I'm really nervous!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
