Hi fellow sleeves-to-be!

I am having my surgery tomorrow. I've been thinking about this for 2 years, and had the first surgery scheduled for January 13th, and broke my leg instead, so had to have a plate and 8 screws put into my leg. Now my day is finally here--I thought I'd be more excited than scared, but right now I am more scared than excited. Feeling like I should run down to the kitchen, make a hamburger and call it quits. Anyone else this scared?

Right now i am having lots of gas pain but other than that im ok. Just not eating anything but then again im not hungry.. I found popsicles soo good at this stage which is clear liquid stage... Im done on the 8th then i can add yogurt and fat free milk to my diet can't wait for that ;) good luck hun u will be fine.. It will be all worth it... I started on may 1st with 261 pounds and i just weight myself and lost 7 pounds ????????????????

Hey may sleevers! I'm scheduled fo May 26th. Emotional Rollercoaster is finally starting to slow down as I begin preparing for the actual event. I have started the liquid diet ahead of time, doing 2 replacements a day and food for the 3rd meal. I don't have to start the liquid diet until the 12th (per surgeon) but I needed to mentally prepare myself-it would've been too big of a shock to the system just going cold turkey.

How is everyone else doing knowing surgery is so close?

      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. 🤞
