Hi All, Going for my gps in June. Anyone else heading that way? Having it done at the Jerusalem Hospital. Can't wait. Because of medical issues I have picked the GPS over The Sleeve. My fear is that I will be the one person it doesn't work for. Any and all help needed. Thanks Michelle

I think we all think it won't work for us. I have heard of one only. It does work. Believe me. I've lost 70 lbs and have been maintaining for about a year now. I had my surgery in Tj, Mex. Don't worry. All be well. Just do as your told.

Thanks for writing. I'm excited one minute then scared the next, and the 6 hour flight isn't helping either.

I thought the same thing and still sometimes think what if I mess this up what if I don't ever loss another pound the what if could go on for ever. But with that bring said I had me surgery on march 3rd and am down 51lbs and am super excited to loss the rest of the weight I need to. I think if you make an effort to keep yourself in check you will do ok. Its when you think this is going to be an easy fix that you end up gaining your weight back. I hope all goes well and good luck.

      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.
