Hi everyone. I just joined this afternoon. This site seems to be amazing! I am having my sleeve surgery on 2/24/14, and am just so excited! I can't wait to start my new life! There is a little bit of nervousness and even some self doubt creeping in now that it is getting closer, but I know that I can do this, and do it well! That's all for now, just wanted to say hello to everyone!

Welcome GG, you will find yourself among friends here! Look around and feel free to ask questions and comment. Don't be surprised that we all have been nervous at times!

Welcome to the forum. I had my surgery on 1/20 and am doing great. I was very nervous but it all was easy and the pain was well controlled. I spent a lot of time worrying for nothing. Now I am on the " losers bench " with only good things ahead. Good luck to you!

Hi Fred, my husband was scared to death, but I was more scared what would happen to him if he did not have the sleeve. We are both 2 months post op and extremely happy. I am off Metformin, and we are both off one BP med each, and both have lost over 40 lbs in 2 months. This surgery has been a Godsend. I don't know your age but I wish we had done this 10 years ago. Best wishes!!!

Wow, Thank you everyone for your kind words and your support! Congratulations to those of you who are already on your journey to a longer, healthier life, and to those of you who are counting the days until surgery (like I am), I wish you the very best of luck for a speedy recovery, and much much success! Thanks for making this newbie feel welcome!

      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.
