June 3rd here. This last month has flown by...only 2 weeks to go. I go on May 28 for final pre-op testing. I'm not nervous about surgery, just nervous about after surgery. Will I be able to stick with this. I'm 51 and been obese since I was 10 years old. Wondering what will happen when I lose the 120 lbs. I know I can do it, just scared.

I understand where you are coming from. I have always been over weight. I'm 54 and praying I can change my eating habits! Good luck to you.

Sleep studies are not that big of deal' date=' yes u will not be in your own bed but the bedroom should be set up like a hotel room to make u feel more at home, yes u will have alot of wires hooked to u but u will survive i promise plus im guessing u dont have a choice but to have study

Sent from my iPhone using VST[/quote']

You are right that it's not that big of a deal but I still couldn't wait until it was over; I was so uncomfortable...far from a night at a hotel for me

I really didn't know what happened, first time I'm posting, sorry! I have looked at stories for months and finally decided to post something of my own! I got my surgery date finalized today. I'm both ecstatic and terrified, but I am sure that this is the best decision of my life. MY DATE IS JUNE 10. I cant wait to be on the losers bench :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Hoping to be approved and sleeved by the last week of June. Final appointment with surgeon is Thursday and then they'll submit to insurance. Hoping for a fast approval so I can get my 2-week pre op diet underway. Best of luck to you!!

June 17th for me - lapband revision. I should be excited but I'm not - after failure with the band, just hoping to find something that works for me.

      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. 🤞
