Hello to both of you. I was sleeved 11/18. Doing fantastic. Share your information because every time you burp LOL you will be looking on this forum for help and guidance. I will share that I feel the sleeve was so much easier than I expected, and I have the energy to get up and go anywhere I please again. I went grocery shopping 4 days after surgery. I have not slowed since. Everything will be better! Good luck!

:D High Five :D that is my date too! Scheduled for 11:30 AM. I've even done far better on the 10 day pre-op diet that I figured I would.

I had an experience today at work that took away any possible doubt (not that there really was any) about having surgery. I went to meet the temp who will be helping out during my absence and to bring her back to our department. She is truly as big around as she is tall and she had to stop four times to catch her breath. I was thinking I'd be training a new temp tomorrow because there is no way she will want to work here for two weeks if she has to walk that distance twice a day. I really need to be thankful I am working where I have the insurance to cover this and that they offer the paid time off as well. Truly a "there but for the Grace of God, go I" moment for me.

      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. 🤞
