Starting My Journey



Recommended Posts

I am just starting my journey. I am ahead of the game they tell me since I have all my requirements met for the diet and exercise plan.

I go on Tuesday for all my measurements. I hope at that appointment I find out more information of what I need to do now.

I have struggled with weightloss for my whole life and hope this is what will finally help me loose the weight and keep it off.

I found out today that I have been approved by insurance e and I'm officially scheduled for surgery. Now just all the appts and more waiting.

UGH the waiting never seems to end. Oh well march 25th will be here before you know it.

Not really looking forward to a 2 week liquid diet beforehand though.

i remember hoping surgery was right around the corner lol. it will be the best decision you ever made. i too struggled with weight all my life and the sleeve was that push that really made a difference. the liquid part is rough but once you come out of it, you truely eat differently and the pounds fall off. sugar free popsicles are my best friends to this day.

You sound like me... It will change your life as long as you stick to the guidlines and rules..and remember this sleeve is just a tool to help you. You will still have to pay attention to what you eat and be active. Congrats and good luck :D

      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. 🤞
