Me too. I guess we wouldnt be normal if we didnt. And I see it as good luck we are having it on a day that only comes once every 4 years! I'm also having mine locally. Do you have any pre-op diet. I officially hate mine!

Yes, we all go through the fear and want to run as fast as we can from it. I hope you don't, it's the best thing I've done so far.

I also hate my pre-op diet, liquids for two weeks. I started on the 15th, it's been very hard, I've lost 10lbs. I'm a bit envious of the people that only have 3 day liquid diets.

@hawaii I'm praying. I've been sleeping a lot also and my body is still very sore. Everyday I'm able to get in more liquids not the required amounts but enough. Lastly my chest is still hurting when I drink. At this stage I prefer to sleep!!! Can't wait to feel better!!!!

      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.
