OMG! Monday is the day!! I was excited now I have such anxiety!! I keep trying to convince myself this is the best thing for me but scared I will be sorry! No going back!! Can't tell you how many last meals I have had!!

Mine is monday too! I'm on an emotional roller-coaster! This is what I've wanted for so long but I'm scared that this will all be for nothing and I will lose a few pounds and gain it all back! I can't help but have the negative thoughts come back and haunt me. I think its normal for us to have fears.

I am also worried I wasn't on any pre diet! I asked the surgeon and hospital. They just said nothing since the night before. I have been reading this forum the last few hours and been reading bad things!! People are starving and sorry!! Where are you getting it done Monday?

I am feeling the same way! I am now seeing negative posts and it's freaking me out how hard the first couple weeks are. Also I was not thrilled with the % of weight my surgeon told me that I'd lose. I want to get down to 150 & with whay he figured , I'd get to be about 190!!! I'm not thrilled. What's wrong with me?!!!

I think in the end its what we make of it. If we follow the directions that they gave us we should see great results. I think we need to give it all we've got consistently and we should be ok... Right??

I don't think there is anything wrong with you! The numbers they give you are a conservative average. From what I have seen there are so many people who surpass their surgeon's # that equals success for them. Good luck!

I work with someone who had it done in December, right before Christmas. As of last week , she was down 80 pounds. It's all about working with the restrictions. That's what makes this different from other diets. You need to listen to your new tummy and follow the rules. She is beyond happy with her decision and results. I'm nervous too but also looking forward to the results.

Guy's I am so proud of all of you for doing this. I know it will be hard but you can do it if you make up your mind to do it. I am at total peace with my decision. I prayed about it and I am not worried at all. If I loose only 75 that is way more than I could loose on my own. I am expecting great things from this transformation. I want to run again and do exercise with out massive pain. I know that being positive is our key to success. I will pray for all of you to do well with surgery and recovery. There is a power to over come any struggle we face. Have faith. You 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.

      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.
