I am so excited, nervous, anxious, emotional and much more! After going back and forth with the surgeon's office and insurance company, I received my call this afternoon. I am set for tomorrow. 5:30 a.m. is my check in time. I will be on my way to a healthy, new me. I can't wait, I just want to scream from the top of a mountain! lol! No mountain where I live in Philly. ha ha ha! Glad I have this place to share my joy. It has been a loooooong journey getting to this point and I will make it worth my while. Nothing about this has been easy but I'm a champ. I can do this!!! God is with me 100%!

I am feeling better everyday. I am amazed at how strong I feel. I guess my tough workouts before surgery did help. I must say the second and third day whipped my butt. I refused to give in. I did my breathing exercises and got up on my own to the bathroom and even walked around with my sister. This is not the easy way out like some people say, nothing about this has been easy for me. It's easier to quit than to keep your eye on the prize. Thank you for all your prayers. I will keep you in mine. Take care and remember with God, everything is possible.

Just got to my home and was excited to be able to look you guys up on a big screen =) It is so cool there are so many people on here ... I was sleeved on October 9th ....last surgery of the day man was I nervous ...good thing the admitting department lady started giving me trouble about the amount they were going to collect to admit me ! Hearing NO in my mind helped me get that xtra bit of courage and get in there on that table !!! My biggest discomforts was the naseua ...I joked later who would of know a big ol' 300 pound girl was so so sensitive !!!! I see that girly elephant trying to poke her tow in the Water =)

SO the Nasea & then allergic reaction to Coedine !! ( OMG ! ) were my biggest battles I say even more so than the pain ...which I can feel going away more and more .....

I just freaked out b4 i went on table I weighed 281.5 and today , Sunday I weigh 268!!!that is insane to me !

well just came home to my dirty dirty house ...oh man is it depressing ! after I left hospital I went to stay at my mom's so the kiddos couldnt jump all over me ....but was it hard to come home from Mommy's house tonight! UGH ! FIre the maid who was here =)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
