HAHAHA!! Yes. My poor husband gets the brunt of all my blathering about life before, during and after surgery. I have elected to only tell close family and 3 friends. SO...you can imagine, he gets all the 24/7 "blah blah blah blah BLAH" about every hiccup, gurgle, bite I take and ounce I lose! :lol:

This is like watching someone else be all excited about their first child when you've had your own first child! I can feel the excitement in this thread! This board is a Godsend for us during this stage, too! It's a safe place to talk about how you're feeling. I'm smiling huge because I see how excited you are.. all of you!!! :)

Me too and I'm only in month 2 of my 6 month approve process. I did all my blood work and most of all the requirements already. I also found out that I wasnt 5'5 as I always thought. 46 inches which is 5'3 but the nurse wrote that I was 5'2 which puts my BMI at a higher rate.

      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. 🤞
