Please don't set yourself up for disappointment when you stall thinking this surgery is a quick fix to your weight loss. So many people do that and the VSG is a life style change so do not set your goals high and be disappointed. I am going into the VSG knowing this is only a tool and the hard work, determination and success all come from ME. It took 55 years to weigh over 300 lbs and if it takes 1/55th that to lose some I will be very happy. Remember, there are other wins besides the scales. :D

What is your pre-op diet like? Did your doc make you do preop for 2 weeks?

I'm so with you!! I love H&M and I have never been able to fit into their stuff. My little sister is super skinny and we always have to go to H&M when she comes to visit me in San Francisco. Same as you, I can't wait to buy actual clothes and not just accessories!!! I'm on my second day of the pre-op diet and it's thoughts like this that keep me going :)

      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.
