My nervousness is overtaking my excitement. So annoying.

When i finally made my mind up to have the surgery it took me a year to save the money. So I guess you can say a year. You?

Well, I didn't hear about the sleeve until this spring. I was dead set on it and my husband told me that he might lose his job and didnt think it was wise to do it at that time. Sooo. Since then. I've been off the boards for a while because I was discouraged but I'm back now because it looks like I'll be able to use our tax return in feb/march.

I'm SO excited!! So so so. I've never wanted something more.

It is an emotional roller coaster. The closer it gets the more I question. I know in the long run its the right thing for me.

I'm being sleeved the day after tomorrow ( the day before Thanksgiving) and boy can I relate to the roller coaster. I started out between 255 and 260, woke up today to 194.9, so I'm wondering why I need surgery? That said, I'm thinking long term. I've lost before only to put it all back on again.

Exactly. Why are you having surgery? You seems to be losing! The issue is keeping it off and even with the surgery it takes lots of work.

      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. 🤞
