My fears

I see where a lot of people have thought about backing out of the surgery for different reasons. I'm going to name some of my fears but I still want to have it...making it through surgery, saggy skin and if it will be as bad as just staying big, thinning hair, I heard your face can wrinkle, having cosmetic surgery, not being able to afford cosmetic surgery, not losing to goal weight or even get near it etc. We all have things go through our minds, but I think we will regret not having WLS more! God Bless!!!

I have to say that once I made up my mind that was it. Nothing is more important than my overall health. I can understand your concerns weigh them against eachother I am sure health will always come out on top.

Isnt it all about LIVING and not DYING.......... who cares if you have a little skin issue etc.. You can take care of that down the road. Trust me you will get to goal weight and beyond if you follow what you are supposed to do .. Reminder this is a tool.. That is it just a tool.. Y9u can lose all your weight and go back just as easily the other way... Just like any other diet you have ever been on you can "SCREW IT UP!".. Simply said. Not being negative beleive me we are all here to help and want to help. But this isnt a mirracle .,. takes work and dedication.. For me it came off fast.. Over 200lbs in 10 months. However i follow the plan to a "T" and i work out at the gym line a crazy person 6 days per week.. very very strict. Saved my life.

Ask yourself 'whats the alternative?'.

Every time I feel that way something reminds me that I am merely existing and not very well at that, so whats the alternative...

Well to live and i'm already dealing with extra skin that's filled with fat, my diet isn't brilliant and instead of a sedatory life because I am just too tired I will get up and move.

We all have doubts and its not that we don't believe in the negatives we just have to ignore them otherwise they could cripple our future.

Chin up girl you can do this,

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
