Yes Jane,

It was an important topic...

I'm not sure how it deteriorated overnight.

But it's a shame that it did...

Yeah I'm not sure why someone would delete all of their postings when they could possibly be helpful to someone later on. The op originally sounded like he was trying to share some information, but clearly sharing was not the intention or the posts would not have been altered.

I agree!! I was really looking for information on this and wanted to get others opinions on the subject! I know that ultimately it's up to me and my dr but I want to be sure I have thought about every aspect before making any decisions about another surgery. And I haven't made my mind up. So I have experienced only a 5lbs weight loss for the last 2 months, that's not to say my body might kick back into gear and I may go on to lose weight. It's just scary when I'm still at 305lbs and I'm already slowing way down. I'm happy if I can keep losing, don't get me wrong, I just wanna be sure my body isn't preparing to quit losing all together. Because then yes I would feel like a failure.

There is a DS forum on obesity help. You might find answers there.

Yes, sadly, some people are very childish...better known as trolls.

My mom had the DS as a single procedure so I'm well versed in that as well as the sleeve. Feel free to pm me if you have anymore questions :)

Thank you! My dr wants me to get ds but i insisted i want the sleeve so he said i can do it in 2 parts... hopefully i have good weight loss w sleeve that i dont have to do the 2nd part... rerouting scares me.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we 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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
