A few weeks ago I was really stressed. Now that I have a date I'm oddly calm about it. I also prayed about it. Asked if it was the right decision for me and that I'd not have any life threatening complications, to help me feel calm about my decision. So far so good!

May 1st here in Houston,TX. On day 5 of preop diet. Down 13lbs since Tuesday morning. Down 21lbs since started on the journey.

When I was scheduled for Lap-Band I was very anxious and could not calm down. Now that I'm having the sleeve instead I'm very calm and feel it's the right decision.

Well Cindy, I'm scheduled for my band to sleeve revision (after already replacing the band once almost 7 years ago) on May 11th, so I couldn't agree more that you're making the right decision going with the sleeve instead of the band!! lol Had the sleeve been an option (at least one that I was aware of) back in '06, I could have avoided a whole lot of wasted time and money!! ;) Best of luck!!!

Aspiring-Thank you. The more I read the more I hear stories like yours. I am self-pay, so I have to make the right decision first. The main reason I did change to sleeve is reading all the posts on this site. Thank The Lord for this site. What a blessing. You guys are helping so many people.

      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. 🤞
