Thanx gixxergirl. Way too much to think about. And I got 2 little ones they keep throwing in my face. Think about them. Don't take the risk. I can't talk about it anymore.

You are thinking about them. You're doing this so you can be around for them.

I failed miserably and had a hunk of birthday cake. I'm regretting it. Horrible headache and nausea. If dumping is worse than this, I definitely don't want to eat sweets.

gixxergirl dont feel bad just get back on it. This pre op is not easy. My sons bday was yesterday and it was so hard not to have cake. I did like some icing on my hands. I did hear about that dumping so I get how you feel. We are almost there!!!

I never thought I would go the whole Rny route but at my hospital, they only do sleeves as a last resort. So if they got me on the table and something prevented them from moving my intestines then they would sleeve me. Idk why.

OMG we would NEVER kick you out!! I just got scared that there was something I didn't know about. I am really such a whiner but I'm getting scared more and more. I'm getting everything in order like I might DIE! Wrote my kids letters just in case. I need to snap out of this funk and get excited!

I was just joking. I didn't get scared until yesterday when my supervisor hugged me.

I actually have not gotten scared yet. It will probably hit Sunday night. I guess I have been trying to stay on track with this pre op and getting my boys ready for easter.

I'm postponing my surgery. I've lost decent weight on my own right now. I'm too scared to take this risk. I'm going to call my surgeon now. I really wish you girls the best of luck and success in your journeys. I'm gonna sneak on every once on a while to get an update. Maybe it will give me the courage I'm lacking. Good luck guys!!

      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. 🤞
