Recommended Posts

I'm Krystyne, 28, mother of 2 and I have a step daughter. I don't have my surgery date yet. I just started this process but have almost everything I need so they can submit it to my insurance.

Hey welcome! And good luck on the journey. Did you have to do supervised weight management?

Yes I've had 8 within the last year and I only needed 3 and all testing has also been done. Pretty much I just need to have the meetings at the hospital and meet my surgeon

That's weird. I just had to go to my GP and get a referral and then see the surgeon and then booked it that day. Had to see the dietician once. Surgery is 2 weeks away! Eeeek!! ????

Hi Mommas! I am 26 and a mother of 2. (2 yr old and 10 month old) I am getting sleeved in February and and nervous about the down time after. I don't have a lot of help and would like to know how long was it before you could take care of your babies? What could you do, and what , could you not do. I am hoping my mom can help some, but she loves far. My husband won't be able to take off work for long. Any insight os appreciated! Thanks :)

      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.
