I am a new member. My special date is November 2nd and I can not be more excited. I am trying to get ready the best I can. I go in on October 16th to get done everything I need to before the big day. Does anyone have any good advice to help me for the few weeks before and after?

Stay relaxed, do not worry you will do awesome. stay with the program before and after, nothing taste as good as being thin feels. I am a size 10 now down from a 18/20 and it felels good. I think if I get to a size 8 I will be happy, but I have to say a 10 is not bad after years and years of being an 18/20. I will keep you in my prayers and hope to hear more from you later.

If you have any concerns or questions ... post them here, this is a support group where you get great information from people and support. The whole surgery expierence is a bit different for everyone, some of us had no problems and some did. My best advise is to listen to your surgeon and do exactly as they say and you will be fine. It is the best thing I ever did and would do it again in a second. We all had our bumps in the road but still worth it !!! Good luck and don't be afriad to ask questions !!!

Hi and good luck. I have found research and this board has helped me tremendously. I've never had surgery so it has helped with the anxiety.

      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
