I am 29 so soon I can't check the 20 somethings box! However, for now I can! I am, God willing, getting sleeved in September. I don't have a pre-op diet but maybe can help! Good luck, I wish I had done this years ago!

I will be 28 in Sept. and I'm hoping I can get sleeved sometime in Oct. My husband leaves for school at the end of Oct. and I don't want to wait 3 months for him to return. Most of my pre-op appts should be done by the middle of Sept. and I don't have to do the 6 month diet because my surgeon thinks it's pointless because most people have tried several weight loss plans and he doesn't see the point in putting obese patients through that stress again. My surgery will be on a military facility, so I dont have to deal with insurance (Tricare). I'm wishing all of you luck and add me as a friend if you want :)

      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. 🤞
