Recommended Posts

Hey guys.. I was wondering if you were interested in a walking group since we are all in DE.. Maybe we could meet at Glasgow park.. Any takers. I live in New Castle by Walmart

Hi deevancliff, I would love to walk but I have bad knees right now, my surgery is April 12th and once I have that done and get some weight off and have more energy I would love too walk.

Ok good luck to you...you'll feel better in no time... I'll keep in touch with you

I just got the call to report to the hospital at 5:30am tomorrow! First case of the day, so no extra waiting, thank goodness. I'm a bundle of nerves right now. Hubby had to have emergency surgery last Thursday to reattach his bicep muscle, so we're going to be recovering together... when it rains it pours! ^_^

I'm home now, and have to say I was impressed with Wilmington Hospital's care! Close to getting in my Fluid requirements for the first time, and hope to start full liquids this weekend. For those of you nearing your surgery date, my must have for the hospital was gas-x strips and hard soled slippers.

      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. 🤞
