OOOH..Well, I hope not too bad! I'm hoping since I'm young and elastic(haha) that it'll come back pretty good but if not I'm fully prepared to have an abdominoplasty to get that skin GONE!

Me too! I'm young, but already have extra skin after pregnancies, so I'm pretty sure I'll have to have a little nip tuck. But I'm all for that! :) lol

I'm scheduled July 30. Still have some insurance issues to take care of but it's pretty much a "go".

It's perfectly normal to be afraid. I always worry about those worse case scenarios' date=' too! Just think about how healthy you'r'e going to be so you can do things with your kids and be there for them a long, long time.[/quote']

Thank you. That's how ive been trying to look at it. I'll be giving them a healthier mom. I also know statistically, everything should be fine. I'll be happy when it's over, I wake up and can at least take dying off my list of concerns. So full of emotions.

You are definitely not alone I go in July 18th & I am a mom too & thinking about the same thing I know everything will be fine

Good luck! I'm getting less worried seeing all the other mama's making the same choice, choosing a better life for themselves and their babies. I've told mine "the doctor is going to fix my tummy, so it works better" ;-)

My surgery is on July 2 and I'm also really nervous and excited. My husband and I are doing this together and his surgery is on June 28. I'm glad we're doing this together so we can support each other.

Good luck tomorrow. What a blessing to have hubby to go through the transition with you.

      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. 🤞
