Finally the count down has begun, less than 24 hours and I will be at the hospital for the gastric sleeve and hernia surgery. Ready for it to be over, jumped through a lot of hoops to get here. And the liquid diet for me was def a challenge, even though people say they had no problems doing it. I will admit it was extremely hard for me. Thanks to everyone on here, I dont post much but I do read a lot of the forums for ideas and information. I wouldnt be as confident if it wasnt for finding this site. Ill see yall on the other side!

Thanks everyone for the kind words, I made it home yesterday after a long night in the hospital. When I move around mostly getting in and out of a chair or bed my sides start tp really hurt. Bust so far thats it, no nausea.

I ended up losing 18 pounds during the pre 2 week liquid diet. So I was super happy to see helped.

Thanks again for the prayers and well wishers.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
