Recommended Posts

She called this afternoon and gave me a date. February 18th. I failed the first 4 ekg's they gave me today. my heart rate was 97 we got it down to 94 and doc signed it so i am all set for my pre-opp class friday, just need to lose the rest of the weight and pull together the funds for the silastic ring by friday. I am thankful for the date. I am thankful for how fast this has all gone. I can't wait to have it done, iwant to start losing faster so i can reduce this pain....february 18 seems so far away...but i know i was very blessed to get a date so soon....i guess i can join the february surgery thread now...has one been started yet? i am also very thankful to all of you who offer encouragement and support.

So glad you got a date. It sounds like a long time away, but it will move faster than you think. But I will be honest the five weeks since surgery went a lot faster then the five before. Isn't it just amazing how things seem to us. Time is Time, but it can seem to go so slow and at other times way too fast. Wishing you the best as you go through the rest of your appointments and classes getting ready for surgery.

      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.
