Hi everyone....first time posting. So glad to have found this site....you are all a wealth of information! I admit I'm addicted to reading all of your posts.

I'm 48 and need to lose about 100 lbs. My spouse just went through her surgery April 4th, so I kind of have an idea about what's in store for me.

I've been approved for surgery on July 11th. I'm very excited to start moving towards a healthy weight.

I know me too, I kinda want to have a last hooraaa, but I had to lose 10% of my body weight to be approved by insurance for my surgery. I did it, It was HARD....and I worked so hard to get it off I don't want to gain it all back. But at the same time I am wondering if I have to keep it off till surgery???? I would be soooo mad if I gained some back and it kept me from having my surgery!!!!! So when is your surgery date? I love the Fellow Virgo Sleever :) Happy early Birthday to you too!

Long story but my surgery was changed to the 24th instead of the 23rd. I'm fine with that. I'll be in the hospital from Tuesday to Friday. We are another day closer to July!!

      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. 🤞
