Hi everyone! I'm Lisa and I'm getting sleeved tomorrow. I've spent a year researching and hanging out here and I finally decided to have the surgery done. Is it normal to still be second guessing my decision? I'm very nervous and would appreciate any positive thoughts sent my way.

I'm being sleeved this Thursday. I'd be lying if I did't think long and hard about my decision again in the past week. It's extra hard being on this pre op diet and I think I'm kind of going through a food mourning. This will change our lives forever, but I know I want to be healthy and I know this will get me here. Try to keeps the reasons why you want/need this done and your ultimate goal in mind. Keep strong! Sounds like you've done your research and you know what's best for you. Good luck tomorrow!

Your doubts just mean you're taking this seriously; that's totally normal, and a good thing!

Good luck, I'll be joining you on the loser's bench in just over a week. You're going to do great!

Good Luck Lisa,

I had mine 4 days ago, and I am so thrilled that I am not tethered to my weight problem as I knew it. My hardest part of my surgical experience was the chatty room mates they gave me post op. Everything else went exactly as they told me it would, recovery too!

All My Best

Lisa, I think it's totally normal. Im scheduled for July 23, and have been working on this for almost a year. I stress about it at times. At least for me, this surgery means giving up my crutch of the last 20 years. I'm going to miss eating large quantities of crap. I'm not going to miss being fat and feeling like an old woman;). Love and prayers are coming your way. Go claim the life you are intended to have.

I waited 10 years for this surgery, and I second guessed myself all the way up until they put me under. :-) I think its totally normal. I just told myself that I was scared to have the surgery, but I was MORE scared of what would happen if I didn't. My anticipation of the surgery was so much worse than the actual surgery was. You will do great!

Good luck. I too am being sleeved tomorrow, not feeling nervous. Not sure why. I was nervous but the closer I get the calmer I feel. Best wishes

Hello, Lisa,

I was sleeved last Tuesday, and yes it is natural for you to feel as you do. I felt, the same way.

I must tell you I have been blessed, 6 days out, I have not had a lot of negative issues, that some experience.

So my prayers are with you and your surgery team!!

      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.
