Just a few days away from staring my pre-op diet. Surgery is scheduled for Feb 16th! I think I'm more paranoid about the pre-op diet than the actual surgery. I have 2 weeks of eating a specific products purchased from our Bariatric Dept. There is a wide variety and I'm sure it will be fine BUT.... If I don't lose weight they cancel the surgery.. In writing this I see how silly it sounds but I can't seem to shake the feeling! Could use some prayers!!

I was scheduled for the 11th but they're saying they want to postpone because I didn't lose enough weight in between appointments. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

I cried on the phone with my surgeon. He said he didn't expect me to be upset but I honestly don't know what else he did expect.

Just feeling discouraged..

They didn't give specifics.. They don't think I have the right attitude apparently which I strongly disagree with. There's a lot to the story but it's hard. I'm a teacher so it was planned for feb vacation. Now at the earliest it would be April.

I am sorry to hear that. Don't be discouraged. Take it as a challenged. My op was postponed twice cos the theatre was fully booked and the doctor was away at a conference!! Doc even asked me if I was upset!!!!! Told me the postponement means I can enjoy my Christmas!!! OK!!!!??????? NOT. Anyway after all that my op will be done on Feb 2. It will happen my dear just don't be discouraged. Push on... Have hope.

A shout out to all of us getting re-birthed in Febuary! I am a 45 year old mom, 4ft 10" weighing in at 155. I have a BMI of 33, and deal with health issues like High Blood pressure and sleep apnea. So I am headed to Tajuana, Mexico on the 5th. Getting sleeved with A Lighter Me. So far very impressed with the structure of the company.

That's great. Congrats on making the decision. Good luck with preparing now, I have surgery today and I can tell you, the last month was a lot of mental and physical prep I believe to have me in a calm place this morning.

Really excited for you!

      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.
