I'm so glad to see you all here!

I have 3 children and I'm trying to prepare everything for the 3 days I will be in the hospital and the rest of the week so I can rest.

I went to target today to get travel size hygiene products and gas X strips. I got a 7 day pill holder so that I won't forget to take anything this coming week.

I'm starting to get really nervous.

We got this ladies!!!!! It's our big day!!!! :) I am nervous, but not about the surgery, more concerned with how much pain I will be in. BUT, we can and will do this!!!!! The pain is only temporary. I have never been so ready for anything in my life.

Keep in touch, post how things went.

Best of luck and success to all of us!

Mine was also 4/20 I'm doing much better than I thought I would loving life

Lucky you! I also got sleeved the 20tg. It's been rough for me. Tuesday I had horrible nausea. Today I'm finally starting to feel better except for this horrible gas in my left shoulder. It's the worst pain of everything. And I'm struggling to get in my fluids. It gets better day by day, but hoping this shoulder pain goes away soon. So glad you are doing well! I'm ready to feel as great as you!

Hope all of my buddies are doing well. My physician is awesome, I went back to work last Tuesday and have worked 5 shifts with no problems, its amazing to think just 2.5 weeks ago I was 20lbs heavier.

I'm feeling good. I'm still on full liquids and having a hard time getting the 64oz in. Other than that, I'm getting my Vitamins in and some walking. I know I'm probably over dueing it but have been cleaning the house too. I'm down about 30lbs since pre op diet and have seen a change in my body. For the first time in over 30 years I am feeling good about myself. Glad everyone else is doing well, we got this!!!

I got to go to pureed foods today!!! I'm still a little bit sore. I'm only getting about 30oz of liquid in so that's my main focus. I have lost 30lbs since starting pre op liquid diet of that 20lbs from surgery. I'm actually very exhausted and hoping that now I can have more options of things to eat that will give me some energy.

      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.
