Hi There

I began my journey in late May

I have seen my surgeon, gone to a support group, seminar. and several specialists for clearance so far.

I am a wife and mother.

My husband doesn't want me to go forward thinking I can do this on my own.

My son 32, is all for it,,,

I feel like I need the support of someone going through the same thing at the same time as I am.

Glad u responded!

Below please find my email address as I find this website very hard to navigate and would rather communicate through e-mails.

I'm sorry you don't have the complete support of your hubs! My husband has supported me through thick and thin lol. He knows that this decision did not come easy for me and I think he respects me a but more for taking this on. I have a 6 year old daughter and I want so much for her. I have such body image issues and I don't want to project any of that on her. She's beautiful and has her daddy's metabolism, thank God! I am just waiting for the insurance company to come to their senses lol. ???? cardiology, pulmonology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, psych, nutritional counseling...I'm done. The insurance co change policy in the middle of my journey and decided that 2 NUT sessions were not sufficient and are requiring 6! Sooo that puts me at October after having an August date. I'm here if you need to vent and share ????

      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
