I am scheduled through Ready4Achange with Dr. Garcia to have my sleeve done on May7. Is anyone else going to be there at this time? Would love to connect with someone who is going to be around the same time as me to share the experiences.

Congrats to all of you!! I am sooo excited! I wish I could have my surgery right NOW! April 27th can't get here soon enough..! I wish y'all the best in your recoveries & please keep us all updated! :)

I noticed you are getting surgery close to the same time as me with Dr. Garcia. We may not be there at the same time. I think you are about a week ahead of me. (my surgery date is May 7) I noticed your beginning weight and end weight is the same as mine. Interested in connecting with you and sharing experiences with the sleeve if you would be up for something like that. Would be nice to have someone who is starting at the same place and have the same goals in mind. :) Let me know or feel free to friend request me.

I just spoke with Ms. Alma, Ready 4 Change, today and had her put me down for May 10th. I am undecided if I want to fly in the night before or the day of. At this time, I'm planning on traveling alone, but I think I'm going to have my husband tag alone. He really does not want me traveling to Mexico with all of the bad news that we hear about here in SA.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
