Your only as old as ya feel.

Preparing was the best thing I ever did. Talking to people knowing what to expect. It all helps a lot !! Why did you pick September if you don't mind me asking?

Well I'm scared to death of dehydration because even though I suppose to have an office job I do end up working out in our plant alot. Everything puts off heat average temp in the summer is 105 in the plant. Some places as high as 140 (plastic industry) so I wanted it be be starting to get cool. Plus my title is special projects mgr and were in the middle of a couple of large machine installs so I'm needed more now than then. I waited until mid sept because my 14th wedding aniversary is sept 5 and wanted to have fun before I couldn't for a while:)

Well that makes sense. Dehydrating is like a huge thing an I didn't take it serious till I dehydrated my 2nd day home but gosh its so hard to drink when u feel pain everytime u take a small sip thank god that only lasted about 4 days. But anyways That's awesome and will be giving a great anniversary present to yourself "a new you"! Good luck!!!!

26 and checking in. I'm sure there are more of us young guys lurking around. I have yet to be sleeved - July 20th is my date. But I've been sticking to my diet and doing weights and cardio. Started at 337 and currently at 293. It ain't easy, that's for sure. But I'm having fun with it and I have a great support system so I think all will be just fine.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
