I'm nervous and excited about this. But ready. Also somewhat apprehensive. I'm thinking 'I've done so much preparation; why do I feel like I'm second guessing my decision?' But I really have to soothe myself toward this. Anyone else feel like this?

He guys that so great I have been on a high protien diet until too days before the surgery and then it is a clear liquid diet and this drink that cleans you out the day before. Any of you guys have the same diet for their doctor.

      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.
