I'm just starting the process so no surgery date yet. I had the consult with the surgeon and still have to complete the other evaluations . Myinsurance requires 3 month diet. I am hoping for March or April.

Oh ok well lets keep In touch and if you have questions please feel free to ask ! I had to do 6 mos of dieting with all the tests !! Went fast though!! Then they told me the ins process would be a month plus long process and it was only two days !! So once you do everything it's here before you know it !!

Hi! I'm doing really well, feeling good. I've lost 45 lbs since surgery, a little slower than some on here, but I'm OK with that. It was rough at the beginning, I had a lot of pain the first couple days and had an infected incision which was frustrating. I have been lucky and have never thrown up and have only been nauseated a few times (mostly the day after surgery) . My advice is the same as most...walk and sip, sip, sip. Its hard to get all the fluids and Protein in at first, but every day it gets easier. My struggle now is eating slowly. It was easy at first but I find it harder as time goes on. 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.

      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.
