You just have to beleive in yourself and that everything will be just fine. Follow all the directions to the letter and you should be fine! I am scheduled for Monday Aug. 4th as well. I am sure we all have the same fears. We just have to push through them. I have been very lucky to have my friends, family and co-workers cheer me on. But if they didn't it wouldn't matter to me because I am doing this for me and my health because I want to live a long life and that is what truely matters the most! Good luck!

The surgery can be scary and all support is welcome. I really loved being on Instagram in the days after surgery but then I didnt find this forum yet..... I did have some complications but had wonderful nurses and doctors who supported me and if you would ask me now... I would do it again! The first days may be painful but just do this for yourself, because YOU want it! It is soooo worth it.

Hi I'm feeling ok but extremely weak. Surgery went as it should. I still feel very weak. Had check up today and that was good. I can start eating soft food. Hope that helps. Thanks for asking

      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.
