Wish you all a very happy & healthy new year..

After trying every diet and losing then gaining, I finally got a green signal to get the surgery, I have been waiting for..

Here is what made surgery thought into reality :

I live in canada but for my sisters wedding, I had to visit India and for some reason, 99% of all girls are skinny to average over here and I found myself completely out of place, embarrassed and unattractive.. I really really wanted to get this surgery however due finances and my husbands complete disapproval (he is more scared of seeing me in pain and is worried about the side effects), I had to keep it in my heart... But on Christmas Day, my inlaws family doctor visited and the first thing she said was that I should get a weightloss surgery (I was happy rather then being offended lol) so after a long chat with my husband about surgery, taking time off work and him to fly back alone to India and for my to partially stay at my parents & his, he agreed..

I went to the Max hospital in Delhi on December 27 for preop consultation and after spending almost whole day there, they approved JANUARY 7 TO BE MY SURGERY DAY

Now I am using this site to gain more information, write down my journey and connect with people...

Cheers!

Thank you for connecting.. Overall I am very satisfied with the surgeon and hospital.. Only thing I am wondering is how many follow ups are needed...

I can stay back for one month follow up but that's pretty much it ...

      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.
