I am having surgery Oct 12, as long as insurance goes through. I have this month's appt on Aug 17, then next month, I have my nutrition appt and 2 pre-up days to prepare, end of next month, I will start my 2 week liver shrinking diet, and I am getting sleeved in Murray, KY by Dr. Swain. I AM SO EXCITED.

I'm finishing my 6mo diet this month but was told my insurance (BCBS) doesn't count the first month so I'll actually have to go until September, ugh. But I have my psych evaluation this Friday and I need to get blood work done (can also be this weekend woo!). After my last 6mo diet appointment I can have everything submitted! I was originally hoping for a September surgery date but now it's looking like October. Either way I can't wait!!

I'm definitely looking for a buddy in this process. I'll be sleeved in Maryland!

      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. 🤞
