Oh my gosh! Three more days and I will be sleeved. I am so anxious. Last night was my last night at work till after the New Year. Everyone was giving me hugs and telling me they can't wait to see the "new me" and reassuring me that I will not die on the table! That is my big fear. I know I will be fine after the surgery, its just making it to that point! I cannot wait to get this over with. My mantra....patience grasshopper. Good luck everyone....hope to see you all on the other side of the process!! p.s. prayers are most certainly welcome :)

I am new here and my surgery date is December 15 at 730 AM. I am so nervous and excited at the same time. Maybe it would not be a bad thing to find a buddy since no one I know knows what I am feeling or going through.

I was sleeved in September on the 15th. I had a hernia. Didn't know I had it. No complications! Good luck to all!!!!

Waiting to set a date with the Dr.'s office, but it will be around December 18th.

I was blessed that the six month process and medical approval for surgery (Medicaid) went through so quickly and without any denial hassles.

We should all get on here throughout the month and support each other, we're going through a life changing event this month/holiday season.

Bought all sorts of goodies today. New flavor Protein Powder, calcium chews & flavored liquid calcium citrate, chewable b complex & Biotin (currently taking pills) and I even found liquid black cohosh which I'm totally stoked about. Can't wait to try the new Proteins. I bought cinnamon graham cracker, banana marshmallow and vanilla caramel. Hopefully I'll like all of them but luckily my hubby is on liquids too and he's not as picky as me ;)

      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.
