Hi all, I decided to go through this post and try to make a list of people getting it done and the day they are doing it, in case you'd like to make a buddy. I did my best to include everyone. I didn't include anyone who had tentative days, or days they were 'hoping for'. Sorry if I left anyone out. Feel free to take it and edit it if I made any mistakes.

Are ya'll telling everyone you're getting it done' date=' telling just a handful of friends/family, or keeping it completely secret? I've told about 10 ppl total. I just don't feel like advertising it all over FB etc. I don't really want to open myself up to potential negativity, you know? I'm sure once I drop all this weight within the first few months (6 months, 8 months, whatever) people will be asking how. I will probably tell the ones who specifically ask but I'm not going to be running around screaming the news.[/quote']

I posted on here asking the same question. So far I've told my parents, 3 sisters, long time boyfriend and my 2 very best friends, my Grandmother and my closest cousin. I don't plan on telling anyone else. I'm only 26 and I live in a town where everyone loves to gossip, the last thing I need is to be the topic of conversation. I'm luckily all the important people in my life have been nothing but supportive! :) Wishing you the best of luck!

Hi pacificpeach, yes, it looks like we are on the same day! I feel so in the minority on here being a man. Is it that less men get the surgery, or less men are on the forum? Anyway, my doctor only requires a one week pre-op diet. I wonder why there are so many variations as to how long they want you to diet before?

Great list, bigdaddy! Thanks!! Kanesmom, I live in a VERY small town also. People usually know what everyone is doing before that person even knows it. Haha!

      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.
