I am starting my journey



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I am happy to say that I have started my journey.

I took my seminar,

enrolled in the program,

had my initial visit with my doctor,

Decided on rny

met with financial,

Had my first nutritionist appointment

Passed my first psych evaluation, (two more to go)

Schedualed my sleep study and EKG,

And started my new diet.

I have 5 more visits with the nutritionist... And a ton of tests... But I am so excited to start this journey toward taking my life back.

Can anyone offer and advice or wisdom? What can I expect? And tips?

I've been in this process for almost 9 months so the excitement in the beginning has turned to nervousness. I'm 11 days away from my surgery and I never thought I would get here. Everything will be worth it and you have admitted something that a lot of us have put in the background.....you want to love yourself. I think we all had that problem in the beginning but we all are doing this for ourselves and we all will do great :)

      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.
