I know how you feel! When you realize this is real and really happening, it's a lot to take in. I'm just focusing on all the good things this will mean for my future.

I just posted about this yesterday. At my NUT appointment it dawned on me that this is real!! It really shook me up. We are making the best choice for a healthy life.

It is a scary prospect, you are voluntarily undergoing major surgery that will remove a large portion of your stomach, and after that your life will never be the same again. It will be BETTER!! There are some very big challenges ahead, and it wont be easy, and at times you will wonder why the h**l you did this. But you know why, you are taking the steps to a healthier, happier you, and it is totally worth this temporary struggles. If you weren't nervous about this, then, i would worry. Best of luck to you!

      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. 🤞
