Awesome! I am so happy for you! It will be an absolutely amazing journey. I can't wait to follow your progress. I urge you to check out my blog. There is a series of three posts about how I prepared for my surgery. I think you would find them very helpful.

Best of luck to both of you!

My one bit of advice post-op is to get up and get moving as soon as you are able to after surgery. I really helps with the healing process. Best of luck and keep us posted!!!

Thanks everyone! Any tips or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Mama, we can keep check on each other. Can I ask where you are starting from and where you live?

I live in Marianna FL and I am in my 2nd month of pre-op process. Getting appointments done. I see a psychiatrist tomorrow for my evaluation. Then next week I see a physical therapist. They said it would be a 3 month wait for approval so fingers crossed. I need this surgery desperately bc I have lymphedema in both legs so I can't be as physical as I want to to get the weight off so this is my next option. I'm ready to start a new healthier and happy life. It will be like being reborn:)

      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. 🤞
