OMG ya'll, I am having surgery in the morning!!! I am SO excited, I can't get to sleep! I have to be there at 5:30 am, which means I have to leave home at 4:30! Yikes, oh well! I might not sleep at all! Oh my word, this will be my true independance day!! They are going to chop 80% of my stomach off and yank it outta there! Whoo hoo!!!!! The only thing I am worried about is nausea and pain... mostly nausea... I know it will be worth it though, and a week from now I won't be thinking about nausea or pain, I'll be LOSING WEIGHT!! Holla!!! Can I get an AMEN? Wish me luck!!! I won't be able to post anything til I get back home. I have a regular old flip phone with no internet. I might do a video in the hospital, not sure... Whoop whoop, gonna be a LOSER by 11am tomorrow!! Take care ya'll, love you guys and love the support on this site!

Victoriatxgirl, we're gonna do great!! We're gonna be the skinny girls FINALLY!! Its gonna be great, everyone I have spoken to says the first two days are rough, but then it gets SO much better!!! And by a week out, they are pretty much back to normal! Are you going to have a drain? I will have to have one for two weeks, not looking forward to that at all, but Oh man its gonna be worth it!!! A week from now we won't be thinking about any pain we might have had! Good luck to you friend! lots of prayers and well wishes coming your way from SC!! Much love girl!

      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.
