I'm having my vsg with dr Valenzuela on May 28th. Excited and nervous too. A bit apprehensive about how my lifestyle is going to have to change. Anybody else going to Dr Valenzuela around that time?? I'm going alone so would love to have a buddy!!

I dont know the time as of yet..' date=' and im keeping this from most ppl so i have No oNe to talk to :( and those who know don't get it[/quote']

I've heard a few people say they didn't tell anyone either. I, on the other hand, have blabbed about it to anyone who will listen since November. So far everyone has been happy for me so I know I've been very lucky. I've encountered a few questions of why this avenue but no negativity yet. This forum has helped a lot and my husband is awesome. My co-workers are even taking turns doing my liquid diet with me pre-op. If you ever need to talk feel free to message me!

Yay Kristy26! Finally another 5/1 sleever!

I've kept it to myself until the past few days. Now my director and one other person in our office know, and I Fb messages my siblings to let them know. Everyone has been supportive except my sister inlaw has been silent. My boss and coworker want a copy of my diet so they can do it with me. I went over it with them yesterday and I don't think they'll really stick to it but the gesture is nice :)

I just got my approval - waiting for that since January. So it looks like I will be a May sleever too. I have my pre-op appointment 4/19. Still need to schedule and endoscopy. Can't wait till I have a surgery date:) And I'm also scared, nervous and excited!

      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.
