I am from Portland Oregon by the way. My surgery is Thursday February 5th and I have nothing prepared. The only thing I have is my boost for my 2 week liquid diet. I actually started a week early and I went to see my surgeon last Friday and I've lost 13 pounds since starting the boost. Now this is week 2 & I am on a roll not looking back

Chicago Illinois here....my date is February 24th. Just got it 10 minutes ago. And it can't come fast enough, I have a Lap Band in there that has slipped, and it HURTS....I've been in pain and puking for 3 years now, and I can't wait for it to be taken out!!! I should have had a GB to begin with! Good Luck everyone!!

Got my date! February 16th. I started liquid diet with the hope that I'd go on Feb 9th. Soooo... Should I keep going or eat solids? I feel like mentally, I'm in a good place and it makes me think that I should keep going.

I have my pre-op appointment the day before my surgery. It makes me nervous that something is going to go wrong that day and my surgery will have to be pushed back when it's so close. I've been doing all that I am supposed to be doing but there is still that irrational fear that something will go wrong. Do you guys feel like that sometimes too?

I do Amber...I worry that they will find something last minute and say oh well we are sorry but we can't do your surgery. After six months of working towards it surgery day kind of feels like waiting for christmas lol.

I'm glad to know others get that feeling too. It's a week away and I am slowly starting to get nervous/panic. I'm so excited I just want this to happen so badly!! My fiance is having the sugery two weeks after mine. It's relieving to know that he will be going through this with me. Our grocery bill will be so less expensive!!

      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. 🤞
