Less than 60 days to the beginning of a new me. Getting excited, I find myself thinking about it all day and all night. Anyone else pre-op for march? How did you handle the wait?

I am 34 and pre-op, my surgery is scheduled for March 11. I am super excited but also getting very nervous. I am not afraid of the surgery, I am scared to death about the new life coming my way. I am terrified about future regrets. I love food and completely understand that it will take a lot of time before I can have many things I now love. I am also concerned about the stages, I am sure instructions will be given and the doctors will be available for any questions I might have. I also find myself thinking about the surgery all the time. When is your surgery date?

Good luck and best wishes on the new life!!! :)

I am 33. My surgery is scheduled for March 12th. I am excited for the changes to come and the whole new active lifestyle that I hope to have. One fun thing that I have been looking forward to doing is zip lining. :-) I too get nervous when thinking about the stages that we all go through after surgery. I am glad that I have support in friends and family. Also, I am glad to have come across this app for additional support.

My surgery is scheduled for March 13!!! I am also somewhat nervous about it, but I think the thing I wonder and fret about is loose skin after achieving my goal weight... I have heard some people say it will mainly go back into place and others say it won't.

I'm going to be march or April. I'm also nervous because of my love for food. But I'm looking forward to not worrying if I will fit in a roller coaster seat and having the bar squash my thighs! I would also love to learn how to swing dance one day.

      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. 🤞
