And I feel AMAZING! I showered, styled hair and got dressed without needing to rest! Had a Protein Shake and ran to store for some yoga pants to wear back to work, came home and mopped kitchen floor, mopped wooden floors and vacuumed and haven't had to take a break at all! My energy is high and hunger is non-existent! I KNOW--it's too good to be true, except it really is true!! Last Tuesday I thought I was gonna die, but I've turned the corner to my new life and I LOVE it!!!!

Yes!! I was the same way- the first 2-3 days I seriously thought I had made the biggest mistake ever... then within 12 hours of being home.. I was like you. I had surgery on a Monday and cooked my whole family dinner on Thursday night. I was cleaning house and everything from there on out. It was like a switch had been flipped. So those of you about to go through surgery, remember these stories... it does get better. And you will wake up one day and feel AMAZING :)

      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.
