Hi,

Looking to find some people have surgery around the same date as me! Hoping we can go through this process together and talk about our experience along the way!

Awesome! I'm glad there will be a group of us going through similar things around the same time! I'm 30 and from Nebraska! Anyone near by?

I'm in Ontario Canada. I'm 50. I start my preop diet tomorrow - I get sleeved June 30 by Dr. Pompa in Mexico.

I'd be happy to share my personal e-mail if everyone would like to start a support group.

@@mrbobb, I hope all is well and you're enjoying your day. How did your 3 hour pre op class go? You said you had a lot of questions, anything you can share with us? Thanks.

The pre op class was very good. The nutritionist was awesome. She basically went through all the things we'll be able to eat and how to prepare them up until our 3 week post op appointment. The servings sizes look like a thimble full of food. That scares me a little bit because it's like will I feel weak or sick etc. she assured me as long as I follow the plan nausea should be minimal. I'll see how that goes. I'm ready to take on the new way of life. I'm starting to plan now so I won't be freaking out the day I come home.

      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. 🤞
