Thank you very much. I finish up my pre-surgery work schedule with not too much the next two days followed by a morning of court on Wednesday before taking the afternoon off and getting ready to drive to Richmond. I'll be recovering at my parents' house in the area, and I assure you all that I will be well connected to Internet and updating you. Heck, I hope to be like some others who manage an update the evening of my surgery date!

Good luck to everyone!

I'm getting nervous, surgery on Friday 12th. I'm scheduled to see the nutritionist, surgeon, and have my breathing test on Thursday. Usually you do this 2 weeks prior to surgery. I'm sure I'll be glad to see them on Thursday and then the next morning have surgery. Only bad thing is I don't know what time on Friday my surgery is scheduled for.

Good luck to everyone else this week.

This was my comment on another post, I mean it enough to copy & paste it!

Good luck to all of you having your surgery this week... I'm so green with envy! I'm on hoop 5 of 6 that I have to jump through for insurance, ahem, oops I meant month 5 of 6 physician supervised visits, ha ha ha. Can't wait to get my date & the excitement that comes the night before that I'm sure you're all experiencing. Can't wait even more for the wonderful life that awaits after. Keep us posted we're living this experience through your words for the next few weeks.

Sad news today. My grandma passed away just last night. I'm alll the way in Louisiana and she's in Philly. Needless to say I am postponing surgery a little while. Hopefully I will be a September sleever. Good luck to everyone on their journey!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers! Grandma will be laid to rest shortly, but she will forever be with us in spirit. Rescheduled my surgery for the first week in September. Thanks again for everyone's kindness and I'll be sure to keep updating everyone on my Sleeve Journey.

      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. 🤞

      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.
