Sounds as though you have it figured out ;) my hubby and I ate @ the Chinese Chop Chop place. Soup was very good. The pool is a nice place to sit in the evening. Sit by the steps and put your feet in and cool off. Nice and relaxing!

Hugs to you ! You are going to do do well!!

Hey Hun, hope ur recovering well. Weird but my throat still bothers me, I'm going to ask my doctor if she can prescribe me something stronger. How was everything in mx? I'm still struggling with good intake, hopefully will get there soon ;).

My surgery isnt until a week before Christmas...and I cant wait! I want to start packing now but that would be ridiculous, right? ;-)

Yeah..I am counting the days. My husband knows but no one else so I wonder how I will get away with Thanksgiving...hmmm. Ill come up with a game plan until then. Best of luck to all of us in this journey...and I look forward to meeting everyone..online or at the reunion...

One question: when does it hit you? That you will have the surgery and that the rest of your life begins??

Well I went and took a hot shower last night before bed. It really soothed the body out. Crawled in bed around 11 and had the alarm set for 530. I wanted time to get things packed back up, straighten/freshen up, and do what I needed on the computer and still be ready by 7:15 for when Rosy comes to pick us up.

I have to say I tossed quite a bit last nite. I even ended up on my tummy a few times which is odd. My tummy must know it will be awhile before it can do that. I remember seeing the clock a few times during the night, but I feel rested. I actually woke up at 5:10 and decided wth. So I got up, dressed, and trying to be somewhat quiet since Hubby is still sleeping.

I am anxious about today, ready to get this started. What does have me nervous is the pulling of some teeth tomorrow. Now that scares the crap out of me. LOL. But I know everything will go fine. Today I will take my first seat on the loser's bench forever. I asked that my name be permanently engraved there. No more wiping it off from regaining weight.

I am scheduled for August 10 with Dr Alvarez . I am ready but still very nervous. I am going alone. My daughter starts school Monday and my wife is staying home to take care of her.

I have heard many going alone and I have been tracking others that have gond before me and feel like I should be fine. Good luck to all that are getting sleeved today!

      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. 🤞
