So today I went to the hospital for outpatient surgery. I had to have a filter removed in my vein that was placed when I had my sleeve done. My mom came along to be my driver home. When I was done she went to get the car to pick me up at the front entrance and when she pulled up she was surprised they didn't have me down there yet. But guess what I was standing right there! She said she wasn't used to seeing a smaller me. Really? My own mom? I thought it was funny though! :D

Come to think of it, my wife did that once! I came home early & she called me by another name...."Sam are you back?"

We laughed about that for months...:lol:

I actually remember reading your post and thinking that is amazing and so funny! I thought that would never happen to me with my mom and then BAM it did! Even after she had been with me earlier- although I was in the hospital bed wearing that lovely hospital gown ;) at the time.

Yes you're right it is strange but awesome!

      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. 🤞
