That is great news!

I am hoping to be sleeved by Dr Kelly & may request for late April or early May, but no date yet.

I just had tonsillectomy & uvullectomy yesterday, so recovering from that, before I book another surgery!

Thanks Diva you have always been an inspiration...I've been a lurker on these boards mostly because i felt i had nothing to contribute until i really knew i could actually finance the surgery. I can't wait for my life to change... I spent last night on obesityhelp for over an hour and a half looking through all the before and after photo's and it's so true that every picture i saw the after there was that spark and that smile and confidence that shown through that all of us overweight people have in us. I can't wait to have my before and after... !!!!!!!!!

Sharon hope your recover goes well from your surgeries :D Maybe if it works out we can be sleeve sisters... my hubby will be coming with me although i keep telling him that he really doesn't have to come, he insists, not that i blame him if it were him going to a foreign country i wouldn't ever let him go alone :-) Dr. Kelly from all my research is my number one choice..No. 2 would have been DR. Aceves because of all the rave revues.. but i can't spend that much and feel just as confident with kelly.

Now i've really got to get in here and research alot since it's really happening and soon.. yipeee!!! :lol:

      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.
