An on the third and very nervous

Yes I started on shakes (awesome) 4 weeks ago and lost 16 lbs people now make me question my decision. But I know in my heart this is what I need to do. I'll say I am very scared!

Congrats Furby!

I am so jealous of all of you June sleevers! I don't go until July 9. In actuality, though, I know the time is going to fly by.

I woke up normal in room and had to get up and walk around the hospital, but who knows what I did or said in the recovery room. They knew I was concerned going in and said they have seen it all before, no worries. No one said anything to me and The last thing I remember is counting for the anesthesia.

Will they let you wear a small stud? If not put it back in as soon as you wake up. Doubt if it will close in just a few hours.

When i had my gallbladder out i had a ton of piercings..(tongue, navel, ears, nose) and for my nose i used a lil bit of fishing line and tied a knot and cut off the excess. I couldn't even tell i had something in my nose like i do my stud now. This is my second time having my nose pierced so i know for a fact they close fast (faster then most). They also make clear plastic studs that can be used for surgeries..i think the thing they do not want is the metal. I would confirm if you can just use a clear plastic stud or if not think about the fishing line or something similar and when you are in recovery you can probably put it back in. That is something ill have to ask my surgeon when i see him!

      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. 🤞
