I'm just beginning the journey! Waiting for insurance clearence and then my 1st appointment. Most of my family is understanding but I have a few hold outs. And then there's always that friend that wants to know how much I need to lose or someone who tells me it's to drastic!

Good luck! March 9th will be here before you know it!

My surgery is also March 9th in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. My husband and I were hoping to have a relaxing little vaca and have my surgery at the same time. I have been reading posts on complications and it is making me a bit nervous. I have a very supportive husband but am keeping my surgery a secret from other family, friends and co-workers. I am a labor nurse and have taken two weeks off of work, hoping that will be enough time to recover.

We are but I am old enough to be your mother!! I live in a suburb of Houston and work in the Medical Center. I am ready to do this. I was ready last summer and fall but became very Iron deficient and the surgeon said I had to correct that first. Anyway, I have several co-morbidities, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, NASH with esophageal varicies, RA and obstructive sleep apnea. I am praying that some of these will be resolved with this procedure.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
