Hi Everyone!

I finally have my surgery date on 9/11/13. Of course my kids think the date is not the greatest.

I am getting nervous and hope I have made the right decision. I find this site very helpful knowing there are so many people going through the same thing!

Congrats to you! I am scheduled for 9/16. I think being nervous is normal and I am sure you have made the right decision. Do you have to do a 2 week pre op liquid diet? Your going to do great. Please keep us posted, I look forward to hearing how your doing :D

One of my good friend's mother just had hers on the 7th and she is doing fantastic! Seeing her go through it and being able to visit her and see how she is recovering is definitely easing my nerves. Especially since we have the same surgeon. I know my doctor also offers support groups, so maybe you should check with your office and see if there's anything like that you can attend before just to get some connections? But you'll do great! My date is 9/19! :)

      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. 🤞
