Good Morning!

Well today is the first day of my journey to VSG.

I met my surgeon this morning, got a really good feeling from him, and everyone in the office actually. I'm excited about this, have a good support system, and only 6 short month ahead of me til "It's ON!"

Looking forward to leaning more and meeting more folks here!

Welcome to the group. As others will tell you it goes by quick. I started all this in June or July and got sleeved on Monday. All day Monday I kept saying I couldn't believe the day has finally come.

Good luck to you and there is a lot of great information on this forum. Of course listen to your dr and use this as reference ;-)

I'm 23 days away from changing my life forever too. I still wont believe it until I see it happen. I cant wait to wear a cute dress this summer and swim in the ocean on our family vacation and not feel completely mortified. I cant wait for my teenage kids not To be worried about my health and for my incredible husband to have the wife back that he deserves. Good lucck to u.... us! We deserve it!

      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
