I feel the same way about March 2013. To top it off, I don't have anyone in person to discuss it with (because of my bf and bff's poor reactions, I have decided not to tell anyone else until after it's done) and it's pretty much all I want to talk or think about.

I, too, am going alone. My bf is supportive of the surgery, but not in Mexico, so I can't really talk much about it. I haven't even told him that I'm going in March and I won't until I buy my plane ticket (after the holidays). At least we are lucky to have the support network here at VST. I might literally lose my mind without it.

I'm 37, 5'1 and 232 lbs. I too want to just go back to enjoying life and living, not just existing. This weight is such a hinderance.

Hey SweetTee I know exactly how you feel! I've had the feeling of just "existing" off and on for the last 20 some years! There have been so many times I passed on doing something fun because of my weight. I'm a journaling person and when one day I sat down and read some old entries I had myself in tears. So many attempts at getting this weight off, so many years of struggling with loving and forgiving myself for my "failures" then talking myself up to try yet again. I am so thankful I found out about this surgery, thankful I have the means to make it happen, thankful for this chance to finally get past this hurdle in my life and move FORWARD!

God willing, I'll be in Tijuana in February having surgery 2 days before my 43rd birthday. I can't think of a better present to myself :)

        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.

      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
