Okay girls and boys my surgery date is July 17th. I am excited and a little scared but I know this is a good thing. I have HBP on medication, high cholesterol and should be on meds, arthritis in both knees and have strong family history of diabetes. Starting weight was 209lbs. I have been on pre op liquid diet since July 1st and now weigh 202 according to my morning weigh on my scales in my birthday suit. Pre op diet has not been hard until tonight when I cheated an had a small bite of Arby's roast beef and licked the horseradish packet.

Would like to have a few July sleevers to keep up with each other and share the good and the bad.

My surgeon is in Conway,SC. Dr. Morris Washington and he is great. I actually am a Registered Nurse and work in the OR with Dr. Washington so I get to see 1st hand what he does in the OR and how he treats his patients. He is very passionate about his work and his patients.

      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. 🤞

      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.
