Hello,

I'm new to this site. Everything I've been reading has been helpful and informative. I have a weigh in on Monday and I'm nervous. It determines if I can start my two week liquid diet. I've been eating right and replacing Protein shakes for Breakfast and sometimes lunch. 'Ive been trying my best but is became hard around the two major holidays. I was beating myself up really bad because I really need this surgery. I have a heart condition, that is rare, because they only find it in people in their 60s and up. If I'm not at 425, I think I might be on the brink of giving up. I have so much life to live and so much love to give, its not even funny. I have a wonderful support system and a marvelous boyfriend who supports me wholeheartedly. I dont know what I'm going to do if I'm not nowhere where I'm suppose to be.I don't know anyone personally that has gone through this, is there any advice that anyone can give me. Thank you in advance!

Hi I am new here too! Think positive thoughts for your weigh in. I know it is easier said than done but it sounds like you have been working hard to achieve your goal. The diet with Protein shakes as Meal Replacements is very challenging especially round this time of year. I am going through that this week as my pre-op and I know it is not easy. Sending positive vibes your way for a successful weigh-in. Here for you if you need to chat.

Your health problems worsen as you get older, like me and my husband. Life has been downhill but I am happy to say we have been sleeved and no more sitting around being depressed. Best of 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.
