I didn't think I'd get approves so fast. I am bmi 40 and have no health issues. Just thought it wld be harder than this lol.

After a half week of binge eating out of nervousness for the surgery (oddly enough didn't gain scale weight but I can tell my tummy grew some. I stopped weight training a few weeks ago cuz my schedule doesn't fit it in well anymore and I think I lost muscle at the same weight ratio as fat gain)

Anyhow, finally calmed down with the stress eating (been a year since I did that! Was feeling like I'd never eat again lol) and I think I was pms eating too. I am all good now. Feeling much better about the surgery and less scared. I'm doing my pre op diet and will be sleeved next week... yikes! So soon!

This time next year... I Shld be skinny for the first time in my life. Will be weird lol. And totally cool at the same time. Cray cray! Of course then I will have hanging dangling skin lol. I find the radio commercials pushing weight loss surgery so silly. They tell people to get bikini ready by getting a surgery that requires you to be 100+ over weight... ahhahahahahaha! Who wants to see my skin flapping through a bikini... ahhhh lol. Another surgery down the road for that. I am considering the it works wraps but definitely will be doing toning as best I can

Well I'm rambling

Good luck all!

I found out after I came out of anesthesia that the Dr lied and said I had hypertension and sleep apnea lol. That's why I got approved so fast. I'm still glad I got the surgery but will be annoyed if anyone asks me about those"issues" as I'm proud to be a fat person without problems. Oh well lol. On the super cool side, I was asked by numerous hospital staff if I was athletic. My heart rate is super good apparently. 50. I still have a big head from that lol. Praising my cardiovascular health woot woot!

      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. 🤞
