My surgery date is December 10th also. I have to do a 3-week pre-op diet which I'm not looking forward to.

Surgery date of December 3rd! Excited, terrified, relieved, nervous, happy, scared, thrilled, freaked out..... ahhhhh! I've never had anything more serious than a sprained ankle so far. Several risk factors are on the high end though. It would really just be a matter of time until some of the health issues surface if I stayed on this track.

Hi. I'm Michelle. I'm 42 years old, 5"6 and was at 271 lbs. when I started this journey in April. I'm now at 247 lbs. (trying to establish some good habits now before surgery). I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone. My family is in another state and I don't want too many to know about this procedure. I'm going to need the support here. I travel a lot for work so going to group meetings won't be likely.

Nice to meet you all!

Everyone else seems to be getting a head start in weight loss before surgery except me. I lost 13 lbs since starting the process but gained it back.

Damn ...

      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.
