Clear Liquids almost done for the day. Thinking I will go to bed early, since I am hungry and there is only so much liquid a girl can take. Tomorrow is the day. Excited, nervous and ready to go. No more fighting myself. Even with this weight I have lost, I know that without this surgery, as soon as I started to eat it would come back on.........just like it always had. So thankful they found this surgery. Good luck to all!!

Good luck tomorrow!

Finally got my date today for RNY..... 5/12. :rolleyes: The office could've scheduled me for 5/6 but didn't want to be in post-op so close to Mother's Day weekend so I opted of the Monday afterwards-- although no eating out dinner plans (will be on pre-op diet)

Still some time out till my surgery but I had already started working out (cardio/lt weight training) cause I want to get ahead of loose skin with rapid weight loss.

Just glad to finally have a date on calendar!!!! :P Congrats to the April folks

Good luck to you guys I have 3 more weeks and the excitement is rapidly turning to butterflies. I am just ready to get it over at this point the whole 2 weeks of liquids before and after is enough to make me want to float but im sure it will be fine. All of you are strong and your stories keep me encouraged. I am a little nervous but im more afaid of what will happen if I dont change. Its time I spend some time taking care of me. Be blessed and speedy recoveries for those going this week.

Yes! The first time was awful, but now it's really not bad. I'm very nauseous from the anesthesia, but they've been giving me IV meds for it

So apprently I've been holding myself up in this approval process from insurance. I was supposed to call insurance as part of the process, but in the midst of my anxiety and excitement I missed that part. I called them this morning and was told I'd have an answer within 48 hours. This waiting is consuming my every moment! Sheesh

      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.
