So I am super excited! I have waited for this for so long! I'm also very nervous. This pre-op diet is awful..I don't think I'm losing much weight. I'm scared I will be hungry after the surgery and ruin it. Ahhh anyone else have crazy feelings going through their minds!?

Congrats on getting your date! My surgery is tentatively scheduled for June 30. I had my EGD today, which was my last big test to pass. I'm nervous too, but all the success stories on here encourage me. Excited and nervous at the same time!

I'm going in for surgery tomorrow morning. I also haven't lost much weight on pre-op, but my PA said not to worry about it.

My nerves haven't fully kicked in yet, but I don't think I'll be able to sleep much tonight!

Congrats. June 17th is my 1 year surgiversary date.

I reached goal at 9 months and am at 132 and maintaining now.

Pre op diet was not hard for me because I was so ready to do this. I was 100% liquid diet from the 10th to the 16th. Surgery first thing in the morning of the 17th and home the afternoon of the 18th.

No complications. No hunger. Normal progression of stages of food and average weight loss with all the stalls as described etc.

You can do this. It's all worth it. I'm 6 pounds under goal and have great restriction and keep a very healthy diet.

Good luck to you and use this forum for support.

      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. 🤞
