February 22nd for me!!!! Finally after starting this process 10/11, my new life will begin on the 22nd. I can hardly contain myself!!! It's been a long hard wait!!! High Protein no/low carb pre-op diet begins Friday and I'm ready to get to it. I would like to try the liquid for a week just to get as close to 250lbs pre-op as I can.

Losers bench, here I come!!!!!

Haha, my surgery feels forever away now that some of you Feb. people are having it done right now, or in the next few days. You will be seasoned sleeve veterans by the time I head into the OR. :D

I have done a ton of research on this surgery and feel it is pretty darn safe as far as surgeries go. I am not nervous about the actual surgery or the life changes after surgery but every time I think about surgery I start to get nervous.... I am afraid to be put under. I have never had surgery. My husband and son say it seems like you are out for 5 mins.

Today is your day yay! I hope it went well for you.

I am getting my sleeve on Feb 25th. I am nervous but just because I have never had surgery before. My thoughts are I have tried everything, and I want to be healthy again. My concern is that I haven't told my side of the family because they are so negative about people having wls. So, my husband and his side knows because my mother in law just had it. She is doing great by the way, she has lost 28lbs in 5 weeks.

Good luck, and your not alone! :)

      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. 🤞
