I had my surgery Tuesday, October 14th. Do not worry about cheating on your preop diet! I did too???? I was having so many food funerals prior to my preop diet so they continued a few times during my preop diet...oops!!! Oh well. I was so discouraged because I felt like I was going to mess up after the surgery but thankfully it has been pretty easy. One night last week I had a melt down because I cooked my family spaghetti and wanted to eat some so bad???? Thankfully that has been my only meltdown. The rest of the days have gone very well even cooking for my family???? The results are worth it!!!

There are a bunch of meetings in Dallas/Ft Worth area. There is one at Baylor Plano (where I had my surgery), but also others all over the metro area.

There is a list of all the local meetings floating around and there is literally one or more almost every day of the month!

I am thinking of attending the one at Doctors Hospital this Saturday. If anyone is going, PM me.

The Baylor Plano one is supposed to be good and they have a clothing swap beforehand. It's the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30pm.

Thus far I haven't made it to any meeting but I want to.

I'll try to find the meeting list. If I can't find it you can ask at the office they have it there too. Wait I think I got it attached to this message.

Where did everyone have their procedures done?

Just stick to it from here on out!!! I had surgery this past Tuesday and I am amazed at how well I am feeling. Get gas x cause you may need it. That is where I had he worst pain. I have not been nauseous or thrown up at all. Of course I am sore and left side of my tummy is more sore but I expected and prepared to feel worse. My surgeon was Dr Nick. He is so nice and encouraging. Good luck!!!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
