Welcome!!!!!!!!!!! This is a forum of much information and experiences. Also differences of opinions :). Take what you need, ask questions and try to see that no one means harm when they respond to your comments. We have a mix of new ones. Those that have just had surgery and those that are on their journey to goal. Too you have vets here as well that can offer help as you go along.

No ones experiences are identical which you will find out.....

Welcome! This is the best place for all the information you need. I have been here nearly every day prior to surgery last November, if only to scan for a minute. Thank God for this site, it has been our crutch and support!

I haven't been here long, but WELCOME!!

I find this site very helpful to me as a VSG patient. I am not one to check sites frequently (not on FB; I am on twitter, but rarely). But I check this site a few times a day.

Good wishes to you and it's likely that whatever your fear, question, anxiety, someone here can/will lend support/advice from their/our experience...to go with what your doc and team advise.

Again, welcome!

      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
