Thanks Cherrie! Wish you were closer to! Texting everyday just isn't the same as seeing each other and being able to hang out. Although we text like we have been friends for years on end! Lol. This surgery was meant to happen for a reason, whatever the reason it, there is one and I accept it. We go through things in life for a purpose, and we can choose to weaken from it n let it control us, or kick it in the ads and make ourselves stronger, and stronger I will be :-) Maybe a bit anxious but I'm gonna put my fist up and prepare for the battle!! Watch out ;-)

Stupid stomach! Sorry you have to go through this, Kyle. And they discovered all this because you had such great success... That's just messed up. Glad they found it before it caused any serious trouble, though.

What doesn't kill is makes us stronger :-) Walked into it with a positive attitude and I must maintain that, and I plan to :-) Sometimes I guess there is consequences with success lol.

So... Getting anxious and nervous about surgery Tuesday, but keeping a positive attitude :-) I look back at when I got the sleeve and I remember afterwards I laughed at myself for being as anxious and nervous as I was because it was not nearly as bad as I expected. This just makes me more nervous I guess because it's not a surgery that's done everyday and it just makes me nervous as hell. Just the sound of what they are doing gets me so...ugh nervous! Just needed to vent, sorry lol.

      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.
