loved your video! Happy 40th too! I'm Natalie, 47, 5'3' 219 lbs. Live in Kentucky. Mother of 3 grown children, grandmother to 4 beautiful little ones all under 4 yrs old. Was told August would be my sleeve month, but looks like September. :( cause of waiting for approval after my last appointment I guess. Can't wait to do this! Until past 8 yrs I was always small, like 125 lbs. But have had 5 back surgeries, unsuccessful and because of depression of not being able to do much, gained lots of weight, and got lots of health issues now too. Like you I am ready to get healthy! I also quit smoking a month ago. Had to for the surgery, but really wanted to for a while. Even after a heart attack last April had started back. But I have a new mind set about things now. I walk on a cane and one of my goals too is to strengthen my back, legs, and feet where I don't need anymore too. I think I will also start a video diary too. Think it will be a great motivational tool. Thanks for the idea

I'm scheduled for July 21. As long as my cpap info is good enough this will be my date. Otherwise it'll be moved back. Have the preop on July 6.

Hi, I recently turned 50. Had the lapband for 4 years which has been removed because of problems with it. Needless to say I have gained back all my weight and then some, making me the heaviest I've ever been in my life. I'm 5'4 1/2 and my CW is 235ish. My sleeve surgery date is July 27th in NJ. Can't wait to be healthy!!!!

      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.
