Recommended Posts

I kn

I know right? I'm freaking out but I'm still in' date=' for the moment anyway. I know others have been through what I'm going through and it'll be ok. I think.

Girl I'm scared, lol. But I keep forgetting you're going to be there too. That does make me feel 1000 times better.

Have you signed up for the Facebook support group yet? I tried to sign up for the May 2013 one but she never added me. Which is sad cause we're going to go through the same things around the same time so it would be great to be on FB together. However, the general FB people are awesome and they have shown all kinds of love. If you haven't checked it out, the link to the VST post is below. You just have to request to join and she'll approve you within a day.

I am getting sleeved on May 13. Feel like I am going to grieve for the foods I will no longer be able to have. Very nervous yet am so sick of living in an obese body. Am being sleeved by Dr. Kelly. Am unsure which hotel or hospital I will be staying at. Best of luck to everyone. Keep us updated on your progress.

Kristen, I'm flying out from South Carolina so I'll be there on the 7th and my surgery is the 8th. I can't wait to see everyone from here.

Here's a link to a company that finances people with bad credit. You only need to have a 580. Of couse the interest is going to be high but the payments can be spread out over 5 years. I know nothing about them so proceed with caution and research. The Company is Patient Source. Someone on another bariatric surgery board is using them. http://www.patientsource.net/ Hope this helps.

      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. 🤞
