I also have my initial consultation on the 27th!!! I'm so excited and terrified at the same time. I keep seeing horror stories on the Internet and I'm scared to death of extra skin!

If am nervous, if am set for June 28. My surgeon told me not to do the diet. Now i am reading posts and feeling like if should have anyways. His nurse took me through it all but when he came in after looking everything over said not too. If thought he was joking at first. I am now worried.

You can friend people on the actual site. It doesn't show on the mobile app.

WooHoo! I figured it out too! Sitting here finishing up the packet of paperwork I need to fill out and bring on Wednesday. Kinda kicks ya in the teeth to document years and years of failed attempts to loose the weight. Seems the only time I have ever lost weight was while I was pregnant! LOL Glad we all are starting our journies together!

      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.
