April you are phenomenal. I'm really excited for you. We were to be sleeved around the same time and alas it was not in the cards for you in 2012. This is your year, baby! I'm just really excited for you to get mobility back and to face your fears and come through in all the glory that is you.

I love your humor. Sometimes I think we have the same gene pool. Lol.

Be well. Breathe.

Hey super fab. I too have some of these same feelings. My biggest fears are not waking up and getting dehydrated and blood clots. But I know without a shadow of doubt that we have all made a great decision for ourselves to be healthy

Good luck to everyone going in tomorrow. I too go in at 5am. Surgery time is 7:30

Yup! But it's finally happening and I'm just a bundle of nerves. Thank you so much for the compliments and support, it really means a lot to me. It's definitely been a long time coming but it's finally time!!!!

Being nervous before surgery is totally normal. If you didnt feel those concerns then it may be time to worry.

Wishing you the vey best surgery and recovery!

Maybe you should do a puréed stage? I have 3 weeks of puréed food to prepare my tummy for soft foods

      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. 🤞
