@@defibvt - hope your pre-op is going well. So far, so good for me. We're getting close and it's officially countdown. I had to change Protein - Pure Protein caused Constipation - can't have that, so started a new Protein Powder instead - much better, but taste is so-so. I'm already down 10 pounds and hoping another 10 before surgery date. Keep me posted as we get closer to the date.

Good luck @@thick2thin! My sis and I fly out in the morning then to Dr. verboonen we go. I'm so excited and anxious. I'm most nervous about leaving my babies. I'm sure going to miss their beautiful smiles

Ashley, thank you!! Dr. Verboonen is my destination today! I'm getting more and more nervous by the minute. Currently in Pheonix waiting to board my connecting flight to San Diego. Good luck to you tomorrow!! Who knows, we may bump into each other at the hospital. ????

Best of luck to you two!! I'll be flying out tomorrow and found someone else flying out to Dr Corvala from the Southeast today so we'll be floor mates. Very happy and feel better knowing someone. Looking forward to keeping a journal (i hope) and sharing plus pics too. Safe travels and congratulations to us all!

      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.
