I am so excited for you! I didn't realize I was smiling ear to ear while watching your vlog until my daughter came around the corner, stopped and stared at me and asked me if I fell of my rocker! lol

Good luck quitting smoking, I know it's hard but you will succeed!!

Good for you, Lulu!

You're a delightful person! It hits me that you will do great, you just have the personality and thoughtfulness to get through it and succeed. Your son will get a gift soon: a more energetic mom. Get ready for going down and going up at the same time: weight going down, life going up! What a ride it is!!!

CONGRATULATIONS Lulu! We have the same surgery date but even more I went through the SAME anxiety you did. Should I call today? Yes. No. Yes. Ok I'll wait. And did I ever shout and dance when I called and got that approval. I'm also an hour drive from my surgery hospital but my next trip will be on the 7th

Now about those cigarettes.....I'm much older than you are and both my daughters are in their 20's and smoke. Since I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, I've been urging them to quit. But for you I say, throw away the rest of those cigarettes TODAY! This is about the quality of your recovery meaning the lack of complications. I'll be praying for you every day, sleeve sistah. Stay in touch.

      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.

      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.
