... laid in bed constantly wondering and worrying about the decision to have WLS and adding to it leaving the country to do it... wishing your brain would SHUT UP and let you sleep?

Paigers- I think about it 24/7. I am obsessed with my surery. What is hard is my husband does not agree with my decision and will not even speak about it. I feel very alone but I will not change my mind. I really hop I run into you there. Talk soon and hang in there.

I've had to swamp myself with school work, music, sleep, ANYTHING to distract me. I don't even have a date yet but I'm obsessed with my surgery. It's become my life in the last few weeks.

I wish you luck! I'm sure your husband will come around. He's prob just worried and uncertain!

I am going nuts too, trying to decide which doctor, or even should I do the surgery!! I have no support from family. They think I should lose the weight on my own and should never consider going to Mexico. (I am self pay). I am up at 3am looking on this board everynight, lurking, searching, trying to find answers. Going NUTS!!

I can totally relate. I did a lot of research b4 making my decision on whether to go at all and which doc to use. As for my support system... They are reluctantly supportive. They don't agree with my choice but they've chosen to stand behind me... grudgingly.

      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. 🤞
