My Current weight now is 205.5 this am and my goal weight would be 130-135..I don't even remember being this weight and if I was it was not for long. I started gaining my weight being put on anti-depressants when I was 19. I have the mindset that this is going to happen !! Life changing surgery and all !!! :rolleyes:

I'm November 6th :)

I'm November 6th also! I just got my insurance approval today!! Im so excited! I'm having my surgery in Okc. I'm 28 yrs old. I have 2 small children. 1 was a csection so I'm hoping the sleeve will be easy. My weight really spun out of control after I had kids. I'm 5'2" and currently weigh 208lbs. My goal is 130lbs. I have high cholesterol and sleep apnea. I'm so ready to start this new chapter in my life and be able to keep up with my kids. I'm tired of being absent from all the family pictures. I'm ready for the new me!

Im here! Got my band out Sept 12, 2013 and was supposed to have a bypass. Dr says he can't do the bypass due to malrotation of my intestines so sleeve here I come!! I got approval last Friday and my surgery is officially scheduled for Nov 5th at 9am. Im excited and terrified and not looking forward to yet another pre-op diet. But I lost 125 lbs with the band, then gained 80-90 lbs back and I am SO ready to see it go! See ya on the losers bench!! Kayla

November buddies, I found most of my Vitamins at costco for great prices !! Bottle of sublingual Kirkland brand B-12 - actually tastes great!

I also bought the Kirkland brand of calcium chews - they also taste great! I was also able to find flinestones chewable a complete Multivitamins at Costco which is what my dr recommends ... So far day 2 of all those and I'm feeling ok ! Want to get in the habit before surgery !

      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
