I think I have been watching to many video blocs of people when they first get home. Makes me worried about getting sick from the pain meds.

Oh wow SK, maybe we will cross paths after all! I got all your emails, thank you, such good reading! I'm going into the hospital Sunday night (the 3rd) and then having my tests in the morning of the 4th, with surgery around early afternoon. I'm the first of the day, there is one other in the late afternoon. I just booked my flight today, and feel so ready to go!

Woo hoo yes we may cross paths on the Sunday. I believe that is the night I am discharged to the hotel!

Mine could be March 5th. I will know by the end of this week. Otherwise I am scheduled for April 16th. I would rather do the 5th so am keeping fingers crossed that insurance gives me the high sign by the end of the week.

Good luck everybody.

I am March 4th at Saint Vincent's Charity, in Cleveland, OH. I just had my day of pre-surgical testing and am so excited, and much less nervous. I started ordering/ buying my supplies and what not, things like a robe, gauze pads, and Protein Shakes. I know the next 2 weeks are going to fly by, but I feel like I can hardly wait to gets started and on my way. Don't get me wrong, I know it is going suck for quite awhile, but I am so ready to start this journey!

I packed this weekend - a little early (like, 2 weeks!!) and I'm ready in every way. Had to talk to family about it and they were mixed in reaction. But its out there, it had already been shared by my dad to some of them anyhow. I'm not upset they don't get it but I did get defensive when addressing.

Money is super tight so I'm hoping I won't have to spend much extra to do my pre-op budget.

My stupid worry is finding a Protein shake I can actually get down. I hate them!

      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. 🤞
