Umm, Wow, I mean Holy Crap! Shocking. ~ and that sounded bad. It's my first response and you are the first post I looked at at this website. I am in more shock is what I am trying to say... I am floored! Jaw on the ground. Do you realize how unbelievable your weight loss is? I am looking at the blinking cursor and getting fearful that I will have this process eventually. It's unnerving and surreal. I've been to classes for my program, nutritionalists, the APRN and exercise physiologist and psych eval And I am doing what they are requesting. I've been to groups with past GI surgery participants and heard their stories plugging away at the requirements however...

The impact of what you have done is incredible! IT HAS JUST HIT ME. Sorry I didn't mean to yell. You just made it real right at this moment. Your experience has been a teaching moment and I am the student who just got it.

Thanks for your post.

Alison,

I maybe reading your post the wrong way. However, there seem to be some high anxiety. I right now will support and help anyone here. Yes I've lost a lot of weight. Everyone loses at their own pace. I've stuck to a lot of what my doctors say. It can be a very scary process. Things are done in our lives when we are ready to have it happen. I will never say I regret it! And I'll take your shock as a compliment as well.

Much love

Kevin

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
