Thanks :) yea the waiting process here is quite long because where I am from the surgery is covered free of charge by the Health ministry. Whereas the lapband isn't and costs around $17, 000.

I just found this forum! My surgery has been moved up to April 1! I'm sort of in shock... It seemed so far away for so long, and now it's suddenly just around the corner! It's been a roller coaster of emotion, but I'm so excited for this next chapter in my life.

Welcome to the group. I will add you to the list. I agree with you on how fast the time seems to be going. I made a ticker in my phone to count down when it was 54 days away. Today it said 36 and it seemed like "WOW" to me. Cant wait! You share your date with 2 others in our group(so far) and the three of you will be the first to "report" back to us that will be waiting! :P

Welcome Jeannette! Nerves are normal, but think about the outcome and that should help! I will add you to our list! :)

      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.
