Hi Smoggy,

I know. The only thing keeping me sane is the fact that I have been so busy at work. I have cut out 98% of the sodas I was drinking - yay! - I was addicted to that stuff. Other than that, I have been trying to get out and walk for about 30 minutes a few times a week. Also wanting to cut back on carbs - addicted to those, too - but that sure has been hard. I will get more serious about it as it gets closer so my body won't be in as much shock when the time comes. Lastly, I have been on a Vitamin regimen for a couple of months. I guess I am most concerned with the hair loss, so I started Biotin along with my multi Vitamin every day. I will begin taking the recommended zinc, Iron, and Calcium soon, as well.

Keep in touch! Hopefully July will be here before we know it!!!!

I dare you to take a really frank "just before op" pic!

I'll bet you'll thank me when you are svelte and have a comparison photo that's hard to beat! :D

      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.
