Just got off the phone with my surgeon's office and I have a date! November 20th! Yeah! I am very happy about it, but George Clooney would be nice as well. ;) At least one of those things will be a reality. :D

i just got off the phone with my "good friend" George ;)

he told me he would meet you in the recovery room and hold your hand :lol:

WLS 11/20/13??!!

wow - will before you can say "i love George" :lol:

probably more will follow before WLS!!!!

you are off to a great start :)

Thanks all for the support! To tell the truth, I am torn between George Clooney and Hugh Jackman, but since Clooney is from my area, he is the more likely candidate. :D (By the way, if you had told me at 16 I would think a guy named Hugh or George would be a heartthrob, I would have thought you were nuts.)

And proudgrammy, you are a tease! But I will have my own version of George there. At least my husband looks like George Clooney...in the dark. But my husband is much sweeter and just as handsome to me. :) I have lost 45 lbs since February, and 36 since June, when I went in for my initial consultation. That is due to MFP and the gym.

I have to say I had a slide back moment last night when I said my final goodbyes and broke up with chocolate stuffed Oreos. But I was still under calorie for the day. And it made me realize how much I need this surgery to help with staying on track. Ironically, I lost another pound this morning when I woke up. :blink:

      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. 🤞
