awesome, I have a date, and Jane had it all along just didn't know it, was approved in September, Dr said you're approved as of Jan 15th..so I thought this was just an approval date not the surgery date, anyway, super excited, have last appointment and pre op registration on the 5th, I was supposed to start 2 week liquid diet on Jan 1st but I started early :) surprisingly today hasn't been hard. So glad to hear you're finished up..almost! Gosh you could be done in January probably right?

That would be amazing but I am thinking it may be February before I have it done. Congrats to you though!! You are so close! I am not looking forward to the liquid diet lol

I wasnt either but for some reason today wasn't bad. I ate over the weekend when i was trying to start liquid early but I i watched myself. Anyway I had some anxiety I guess that I would go nuts on it lol..but hopefully it's gonna be ok! I had beef broth this evening. It seemed like it would be so good but it wasn't..tasted kinda fake. And I'm not picky at all. I find it really hard to sleep when I'm not eating. Hoping I will do ok with that too.well keep in touch if you want! I think I'm starting to get a headache, ,which is easy for me to do so I think in gonna have a carb control shake, well have a good night sorry for rambling lol

      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. 🤞

      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.
