Hello Everyone

I am from the Bronx. Have been given a tentative date for surgery February 5th, 2014. Feeling anxious, apprehensive, and cautious. I am not one to take surgery lightly. This is a big deal. Life changing, irreversible, yet an opportunity for making healthier choices.

I have been reading the postings and they are very helpful. My biggest concerns at this moment is making sure I have everything I need, and to mentally and emotionally accept the limitations that come along with this type of procedure.

I was sleeved 1 month ago, today. Dr. Teixeira was my surgeon and he was fab! 2 days in the hospital, not one pain pill and have lost 18 lbs and counting. Must chew and swallow slowly. Goodbye pizz, cheeseburgers and haagen!!!!????

It's all worth it!

I was sleeved Oct. 6th, I am currently 5 days out post-op. I had mine done at Ellis Hospital and my doctor was Dr. Terrance Clarke. He explains everything fully love em'.... I didn't have any issues with the surgery... Pain well controlled.... Was in the hospital for 1 day and then was released...

I've already gone through the first phase of the "regret stage" but I am doing much better.... Just counting down the days to go workout at the gym!!!

      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
