I just had to share because you guys are the ones who know how exciting/scary this day is- just came from my surgeon's office and I'm scheduled for July 28th! I put it off until the end of July for a few reasons, but that date will insure that I can Celebrate my special needs daughter's birthday with her(she looks forward to it all year), take a mini vacation to recharge my batteries before the pre op diet and try to set myself up for success.

After all the months of testing, whoop, there it is.

Virtual-

Sounds like you are over the hump! Have you experienced any hunger at all? I haven't and absolutely NOTHING sounds good. Its really hard for me to get in anything because i never want anything. My biggest complaints are Constipation, no appetite, right side belly pain, and having to crush pill form pills due to one getting lodged the day i came home from surgery ( leading me back to the ER ) i am only 6lbs down from surgery day but i only know that cause my doc weighed me today. Lol Im okay with that though. Im terrified of lose skin issues. Keep posted girl! :-)

      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.
