Anyone out there starting at or started at 350+ lbs? I am about 375 and thought it would be nice to share the experience with someone about the same size. Let me know maybe we can go through this together. My surgery is Jan 17.

I'm about 10lbs heavier and shoot for 3/11/13 with Dr. Lopez. Financials pending of course!

I am 340 and have scheduled my date for March 20th with Dr. Garcia. It's so encouraging to see the weight loss some of you have had. Great job on the work!

I was 375+ as I would NOT step on the scale for a few months pre-op. Lost 175 pounds and doing fine. Only issues was a few bouts of kidney stones. I drink a lot of Water and that keeps them at bay.

      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.
