I'm tentatively scheduled for March 19th BUT I'm awaiting approval. I sure pray and hope I'm with all of you. :-) I'm a teacher and really want this before Spring Break, so I have time to recover or I'll have to wait until Summer...

I'm shooting for mid March myself. I'm 5'3 and 228 lbs the charts say my goal should be 115 I'm sure whom ever came up with that chart was a crack smoker, Just Sayin! LOL I have no desire to be 115, I do however see myself at a healthy 150lb, oddly enough I seem to be scared of actually losing the weight, I mean how weird is that, am I so attach to these roles and this BA dunka a dunk, that I will mourn it? Good Grief! I am thinking of maybe holding a bad a** wake for the stomach their removing and the fat that will start to go away, and maybe a new birthday party for the healthier me :)

Comment on who I shared with, I decided to send an email to my circle, with links to be able to help them understand what I am doing, sadly enough my best friend is not on board at all, which makes my heart ache since I feel like I want to share my journey, Oh! well she feels what she feels I suppose. My biggest support is my daughter, who a year ago was sleeved, when she told me I was one of the mis-informed judgmental people she ran up against. Her whole life has changed in so many areas, not just how she feels physically. And OMG she looks fabulous. http://www.facebook.com/groups/216807098391019/?fref=ts here is her Facebook link she made for her VSG journey if you would like to take a look. Ok enough rambling, We have each other here, I'v cried & laughed and been scared S***less since being on this site, I also have found strength and compassion. So my sistas and brothers, Ready, Set, Go!!!! WEEEEE!!!! (I say that a lot because I like it 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. 🤞
