Hey, SkinnyB, I LOVE love the username. I just had my surgery, and a lot of people commented on my positive attitude toward it, and said that would help. I feel like you are SO super positive. I know you'll do wonderfully and I'm excited to read your posts.

Also, your pic is SO pretty.

Thanks so much! Remaining positive will help with success for sure. Wth you lost 10lbs on your pre-op..kinda wishing I had to do one. Instead I'm having "last supper syndrome" hahaha Best of luck to you. I know you'll do amazingly.

HAHA yeah!! Well I'm actually waiting on the insurance approval. I'm on my 10 day of waiting! I'm going nuts. I'm hoping to have surgery in February as well. Who's your dr if you don't mind me asking? I go to Dr Sina Matin at Baylor.

Ugh the waiting game..it was torture. I def know how you feel. But I'm sure it'll be good news. I'm in MD till the summer so I decided to get it done here with Dr. Averbach but when I thought I was going to do it in the dfw I was going to do it at Baylor not wit Dr. Matin though. If I remember correctly she's the director so you'll def be in good hands. Let us know when you get your date so we can shower you with congrats :)

      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.
