Thanks Debbie........are you as excited and nervous as I am? I've been watching for the past couple of days YouTube videos and sort of freaking myself out. There are so many horror stories about pain' date=' excess skin and the different changes in moods including depression.......so I guess im still a little freaked out.[/quote']

Your welcome! We all know the risk with this surgery, but we also all know its worth the risk...I'm feeling excited, but also starting to get nervous. We all need to be here for each other and we will get through this Together! :-). We can do it!

Here's a fun and exciting topic my May Surgery buddies! What is one of the things you can't wait to do that will become easier when you are thinner?

As simple as this sounds....I can't wait to be in a picture and not be the biggest one in the pic. and actually not hide from the camera all the time.

I'm beyond nervous and having some trouble with my pre op diet ugh

It's okay. You can do it! You will do it for yourself. You will be strong and love yourself for getting through this pre op diet. And soon you will be on the losers bench. Don't worry, I will be feeling the same way in a week and i will need all of your comforting words as well. We will be here for each other. :-)

Thank you for adding me!! My biggest thing that I want to do after surgery is go to Disneyland and be able to walk around without my back and feet hurting. That and I look forward to living a new healthy life.

One of the things I am going to look forward to is have energy to play with my kids. Also I work in a business casual setting and I am looking forward to looking better in what I wear to work etc.

I can't wait to finally be able to be comfortable while getting a pedicure and not have to worry about trying to hold my legs together without feeling like I just did a workout.

I'm the same way. I always feel so awkward when getting a pedicure.

I want to be able to be taken seriously again. Feel as if that sort of slipped away the bigger and bigger I grew. Younger girls at work in much sharper clothes. We may have the same bark, but the smaller ones are often perceived to have the sharper bite..........oh, and crossing my legs without a struggle :)

      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.
