You guys will do great! Have all your ducks in a row, all that you'll need for your recovery so you don't have to run out to the store (you're not going to want to), have all your shakes, baby food, sf popsicles ready to go. Get yourself a heating pad, some Kleenex for the "sad" times, some great movies, an AWESOME Teddy Bear, some comfy pj's and a whole lot of unflavored Protein Powder. Now your set, welcome to your "new life"! Bless you on your journey!

I'm scheduled to be at the surgical center at 6:30 tomorrow. I'm not sure what time surgery will actually be...assuming 8-9:00?? I'm in the Middle East so my time is 7 hrs ahead of eastern time zone. I should be done while most of you are still sleeping.

I'm trying to get my last few ducks in their respective places. Lol. Bottled Water should be delivered later this afternoon. I already have lots of unflavored Protein (picked that up from the pharmacy last week). I have crystal light and a bunch of SF Jello boxes. I still have to pick up a few things at the commissary, mostly stuff for my kids while I'm in the hospital.

Hopefully I don't forget anything for myself. Shopping outside the U.S. is challenging enough....no SF Popsicles here. I'll just have to be creative. Looks like it's gonna be Dixie cups and crystal light. ????

      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.
