Well, I'm scheduled for my sleeve at 7:15 this am. I'm excited and so very nervous. Not about the sleeve, just surgery in general; for some reason I just get very morbid any time I have to go under. It's irrational, I know probably 25 people who've had a wls and none have had any surgical complications. Ahh well, it'll be fine. Just took my "before" pics....I never feel as big as I look in pics, sometimes I forget I'm as big as I am, lol.

So, is there anyone else getting sleeved today?

Good luck!

I'm just pulling up to the hospital myself.

I think just because it's actual surgery is the fact that people (myself included) get nervous or a little worried.

God willing all will go smoothly and may we all have speedy recovers and transitions into our new lives

Not getting surgery till 8/25. But I am like you in the respect that I don't feel as big as I am. I wonder if most people with overweight people feel that way.

      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.
