I remember someone saying there's a site where you can buy Protein Powder samples, does anyone know that site?

Scheduled for surgery on June 16th! It's starting to feel real now! Anyone else on the 16th?

Surgery for me is tentatively scheduled for 6/18. We are still looking for a co morbidity so that my insurance will cover. But if they don't pay I will pay for it myself. I will have a gastric sleeve. I am 5'3 ". 215 lbs. my last test is a sleep study next week.

Yes 5 precious babies that I want to be around along time for..... When is your surgery

Tentatively scheduled for June 18th. My surgeon is still trying to find a co morbidity so that insurance will cover. I will pay for it myself if insurance doesn't pay. I have 3 Grandchildren ages 18, 13 and 9. I have 2 grown sons and a wonderfully supportive husband. I work as an RN helping women who have just been diagnosed with breast cancer. Hope to retire end of this year

      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. 🤞
