Awe girl!! I bet you are starting to get scared. I would be too! But look at all you been through with no real problems and a positive attitude to boot!! :) I think you are gonna be just fine. Always know you can come here for support. Do you have someone going with you and all that there?

My daughter is driving me and my dad will meet us there. I just don't understand why some people have to continually be tried in their life. One thing on top of another.

Thank you very much and good to know about the papaya enzyme. Was just checking.

I'm just scared cuz I hate to have this other surgery and my daughter lose me. My dad promised me he would do everything to keep ex away from her since he hasn't had her best interest and only cares for himself. That made me feel better. But I know not having it is pending cloud of doom over my head.

Gen, if you haven't had a negative reaction to anesthesia before, chances are, you won't this time. You are going to be fine. :)

I know it. I've felt the same way. My Mom always says that we are like raw diamonds and the more trials and tribulations we go thru the more we get "polished", until we are brilliant, beautiful gems! Lord I hope it's true!!

I'm 6 weeks out and have lost 28. I'm a slow loser but 9 to lose to onederland. If it weren't for the stall, I would have hit it before next surgery, Jan 31. That was my goal. But oh well, need a new goal now.

It's because you are strong and can handle it. Prepare yourself mentally for a good surgery with a positive removal of all the things that need to get out. Sending good thoughts your way!

      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.

      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.
