I found out today that my surgery will be on Feb. 12. I am excited and nervous too. I am really nervous about the liquid diet. I am not a huge fan of Protein Shakes. :(

I'm February 12 as well... Don't worry about the pre-op diet (check with me in a week and see if I'm still saying that!!)- think about two months from now when we will be smaller versions of ourselves and that pre op diet will be a distant memory. :-)

Hey, when we're hungry we can meet up on here and chat about all the things we're going to do and wear when we're thin!

Good luck girls!!!

That sounds like a great plan. It would be nice to talk to people who are going through it at the same time. Where are you located? I'm in San Antonio, Tx.

Oh wow! That's cool! My doc is Dr Pilcher from New Dimensions. I really like him. Are you going to be at Foundations Hospital?

Unfortunately no. I will be at NE Baptist on Village Drive. I was going to be at Foundations but bc the doctors won't be available the last week of February it was either take the 18th as my date or wait until March 4th. I'm with Texas Center for medical and surgical weight loss.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
