but think of this... in those (quick) six months you will be going through a process to get ready for a life changing event. Read, learn all you can about your body, start exercising and get in to a routine now...it will make it easier for after surgery. Change your eating habits best you can, talk to people on here and get all the motivation.... there are some VERY successful people on this site and they know a LOT of good tips, ideas and really want to help.

The six months will go by fast, the spring is here more activites to be involved with all summer too... hang in there... this time is very important to your success! Good Luck!

The six months is actually a blessing in disguise. Use this time to start to change your eating habits slowly and start to get more exercise. I found that using this time to really work on the mind set helped esp in the first few weeks after surgery when things are a bit rough. We are here to support you and the time will go fast. Good luck and congrats on your decision.

The first three months feel like they take forever, but the last three go by in a blink. It's crazy.

      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.
