I am scheduled for November 18th. I just started a new job after the surgery was scheduled and I am very nervous about getting the time off. I am a self pay and I am afraid of failing. I met with the psychologist this morning and I told him how I lost about 75 lbs on Weight Watchers but gained it all back after an environmental change.

I'm scheduled for the 18th as well. Also anxious to get just past the surgery and start recovery. Started the pre-op diet early to start adjusting more. Don't mind the Protein Shakes but curbing the late afternoon hunger is a challenge. But, sticking to it.

First, I am excited that we are a HOT TOPIC! ha ha

Second, I am so happy that there are a good number of us getting sleeved in the same week - what a support system!

I am on day 5 of my pre-op diet. It has been ok. Sitting at lunch with my fellow teachers munching down on carbs is hard, but I just smile and eat my leafy greens and 4 oz of chicken. The sugar free Jello is a life saver. I know it is a non-food entity, but it makes me "think" I am eating sweets.

So far I have lost 7 pounds in 4 days, and I am motivated!!!!

Hope all of you are doing great as well!

Jackie

      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. 🤞
