Hi All I started my journey 12mts ago, last January I was put on the 6mts weight loss program, 3mts was the milk only diet. that all finished 2 weeks ago & on the last day I had gained 2kg, my consultant was angry but I explained and asked him to look at my legs as I suffered with odema, He said do you think your ready for this operation I said yes more than ready, he said I'll see how you are in 6wks, the week before he said he was prioritizing me for my operation then everything changed, yesterday I heard that they were dropping me from the program, now they haven't told me myself but another person going to them was told that they can now push her up the ladder as they were dropping the lady that had regained in the last group, this person hasent done any the weight loss program, but has all the other test done, im seeing the physiologist on the 23th of august this is the last of my pr-op test to be done, ive sent an e-mail to my consultant to let him know the date as he asked me to let him know, I'm so angry that I could loose this operation over a 2kg gain, Ive tried ringing

the co-ordinator who I get on well with but she hasent returned any of my calls,

So sorry you are having this issue, how disappointing.

Its never made sense to me that people have to lose weight to have the surgery.

I see you lost 46 lbs in a year? That should be considered great for someone that hasn't had surgery yet!

Keep fighting for it! Good Luck.

I'm sorry too! I think it's ridiculous...if we could loose weight on our own, we wouldn't NEED the surgery!! I'm glad I wasn't required to try! Heck...I couldn't have even survived to liquid diet the week before surgery most sleeves were required to do! Good luck & keep fighting!

      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. 🤞
