I think it's natural to have a bit of anxiety prior to a life changing event; focus on the life after and the future you envision once the process is compelte. Tonight do something special for yourself--bubble bath by candle light, quiet reading (if you like to read) or anything you like to do that is soothing and calming. I will be sending you happy, healing thoughts. When you feel up to it, let us know how you are doing.

Good luck msryan. Your angst prior to surgery is completely normal. Tomorrow starts an entirely new life style. You will do fine and you will love the results. Be patient and follow the rules and you will be fine.

Also, good luck to Sleevin it in Jersey. Slim times ahead. Get ready for all the compliments everybody because people will be noticing a slimmer trimmer you.

You are probably asleep by now and won't read this until much after your surgery. Just want you to know I'm holding warm thought in my heart for my new sleeve sister. You have an amazing new life ahead of you. Rest well, follow your docs plan for you one day at a time, and the excess weight will start melting away.

      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. 🤞
