@@BloomingLotus YEA! I am over the moon for you!!!! My time is 9:30 in the morning (was 6 am, for 8 am, but they moved me to 7:30 arrive, 9:30 surgery) -- what's one more hour and half after all this time, sigh -- Are you ok w/the snow?

@@della street I ended up being ok with the snow - my area got some but not nearly as much as predicted. Some of my friends in Long Island got buried though! I had to show up early for my pre-op testing appointment and PCP appointment for clearance, but made it in before the travel ban and snow got too messy. Both offices were closed yesterday so I had to wait for medical clearance until today! Talk about cutting it close!

So exciting for all of us! Let's be sure to update tomorrow or Friday once we are off the heavy drugs and capable of making sense!

      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.
