@@kissieJ -- We're on the same date! Looking forward to sharing experiences and supporting each other.

I'm excited but I'm kinda getting bored with the waiting. I was working hard, trying Proteins, exercising but now I'm losing momentum. But, according to the ticker, 5 weeks and 3 days left... I can make it!

I am so excited for everyone who has a June 9th date. That is my wedding anniversary. I am looking forward to your experiences so I can be better prepared for my surgery on the 25th of June. I hope the month of May just blows by. I wish I had a job so I could have something to concentrate on while I am waiting. I am so glad I found this website. Good luck everyone!!!!

I started my process April 1st. My insurance only asked that I be 100 pounds over weight & a BMI over 40. I had no waiting period. Im so thankful for that.

I started on March 3rd. I didn't have a waiting period either. I have a financial matter I have to take care of in May or I would of had a May date. I am happy with the June date though. Gives me time to get things squared away at home and my hubby will have enough time to schedule time off work. I am so excited about this major life change. I have already been put on their liver shrink diet and I will admit, it's not easy. I received all my pre-op paperwork the other day and we are not to gain weight before surgery or it will be canceled. So now I am afraid of gaining weight, so I am sticking to the diet.

      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
