I have been reading your posts- you have helped me make my choice.

Dec 4th is RIGHT around the corner. I cannot wait to watch your journey. Please keep posting.

Are you doing anything now to prepare? I gave up diet coke and trying to not drink while eating. I think that is hard and trying to sip and not use straws.

Are you going alone or taking someone for support?

Aw thanks! I LOVE diet coke! Lol the whole idea of not eating/drinking at same time is hard for me. I drink a lot when I eat. :(

I am trying to prepare mentally most of all. I am getting in a few foods (mostly carbs) that I know I will not be able to have for a while, but not over doing it.

I am going alone. Hubby has to work and kids have school. But alma knows I am alone and she is gonna take good care of me :) plus, the only time I will really be alone is at the hotel any way.

I will post as much as I can as I go along. I M trying to get some Xmas shopping done too lol!!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
