Stalked Your Posts/Researched to No End! I'M DOING IT...3/29



Recommended Posts

I am new as a member to this forum, but I have been reading your posts anonymously for months. I am so grateful for this site. I was out of options and then I found this. I was so confident in my research and the stories here that I booked with Dr. Garcia and will have the sleeve done on 3/29. Just want to say that I am happy I found this site and will share my story for it to benefit someone as your stories have helped me tremendously. :)

Cool, I've always wanted my own stalker! I'm tired of sharing the one I have with my brother. :P

The best advice my parents ever gave me: Never talk to strangers, unless they offer you candy AND a ride.

Welcome stalker! :) Most of the people here are friendly, helpful and more than willing to offer up advice, give input and answer your questions. Good luck with your upcoming surgery!

The idea of stalkers used to bother me until I realized that I am scarier than anyone who could be peering into my window. :ph34r: B)

Welcome!!!!! Hoping and praying that all goes well with you! :)

I stalked for several months before jumping in, also. I actually booked my surgery (Mexico, also, with a different dr) before I finally "came out." Lol

I am 8 weeks post op and have absolutely no regrets.

Good luck on your journey. :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
