New Here Looking For New Buddies



Recommended Posts

Yes that's where I seem to be. It's all worth it in the end so I can't complain.

Just approved by my insurance last week, my pre op appt is the end of this month, which we schedule surgery on that date. I figure late March/April is when they will get me in. Would like to find a buddy to chat with thru this process, because frankly I am scared lol.

Congrats on getting approved! I will be having surgery around the same time as you! I'm always looking for new buddies they are great to have.

welcome!!! the sleeve is the best thing that happened to me...I was nervous about my many things before surgery, but now I am fine...loosing weight and gaining strength.

To top it all my daughter asked me 1 day before surgery when i was ready with all my tests...MOM do you think you are doing the right thing? I was so upset.

But now she is happy with my progress.

SO GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU.

Well I'm glad you listened to your heart and knew what was best for YOU.. I'm so scared to tell my family and friends because I know they will discourage me. I really need this surgery, it's the perfect tool to help me change my life. I just don't know what to do.

Hiya curvy.. My surgery date is March 12th. Doing my presurgical blood work tomorrow, then taking my preaurgical class in the 26th. It's so exciting, nerve racking all rolled up together. Seems like time is going so slow!!

Congrats! I wish my date was in the beginning however I'm glad it's going to get done regardless. I know how you are feeling I can't wait to experience the same as the time gets closer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
