You have lost 215 pounds that amazing. I am still going through the 6 month supervised diet but since I have over 200 to lose I am sure I could learn a lot from you and would love to know more about you. Feel free to send me an email so we can get to know each other.

I'm in Palm Beach Co. Still going through my 3 month physician supervised diet. I don't have a surgery date yet. Hoping for first week of December. I'm so excited with this journey. I love reading about everyone's experiences. I'm learning so much about what to expect before and after surgery.

Catmom Do you have a surgeon yet? Whom might it be? I am using Dr Vaughan and we are looking at Jan for my sleeve. Right now I am on a supervised 6 month diet.

ssflbelle I'm seeing Dr Robert Cywes in Jupiter. I was referred to him by a coworker who already had the sleeve done in March. I really like him and his office. I'm looking at December surgery, at St Mary's Med Center.

I was referred to Dr. Vaughan by a friend who has lost over 150 pounds. My surgery will be at the Jupiter Medical Center. Does your Dr also have supports groups? Have you gone to any yet? If so, what kinds of things do they do there? Are there people there who haven't had surgeon yet? Sorry for all the questions but I am pretty much doing this alone and looking for support. Only my roommate, the friend that referred me and 1 coworker knows about the surgery. My Dr has a group that meet the 3rd Wed of the month but I haven't gone yet. Plan to start in Nov.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
