Ironpoorer-

I am getting pretty nervous! The hardest part I worry about the most is the changes my husband has to go through. He is not over weight!

I also worry about my wife, she has not been very supportive up till the last minute (maybe she didn't believe I would go thru with it?).

I'm a few days away from getting sleeved (12/28) I'm a little nervous but very excited. I think Christmas is helping take my mind off what would normally give me anxiety. How is everyone (sleeved and waiting) feeling?

I have my weak moments and moments where I am ok. I will be sleeved on 12/28. I am not nervous but I am anxious to get the procedure done so the weight can start coming off

Loks like we're all 3 getting sleeved the same day- the 28th. I was hoping for an early am appointment but don't have to check in until 10:30-11 am....more time without coffee!!! I must admit that after starting the pre-op diet well, losing 25 lbs, I have not been very good this week. I have not re-gained any weight but I doubt I have shrunk my liver much :(

We leave early Sunday am to drive to Dallas and check into the hotel where my wife and son will stay until I am discharged and recuperate enough to drive back home. Good luck all!!!

Hi mommy - I have started my LSD and so far not too bad...even with the Christmas goodies in the house. I'm still waiting for my insurance approval, but as of now. I'm 25 days from being sleeved. I asked Santa for a journal this year so I could record my journey. I hope to keep my measurements, weight and pictures in it as I go through changes. My dh makes a little bit of fun of me because all I've ever wanted was a belly button ring when I make goal weight. For the first time in a long time, this seems achievable. I hope you are doing well. Please let's stay In touch.

I am on day 5 of all liquids to shrink the liver. Today is easily the hardest. I want real food and I don't mean salads! I had lost every morning when I weighed in and this morning gained 2.9 lbs. Makes no sense that I gained. Oh well, right? ?

My husband has been very supportive. He told me today he was afraid he wasn't going to say the right thing in the next couple of weeks. I am being more clear on the verbal support I will need!

Hello Everyone. I am new to this forum. I will get sleeved January 22. Very excited, but nervous. I start my pre-op liquid diet on January 8. I have only told my kids, my mom, and a couple of siblings. I told my kids (age 33,27,24,15) today--the boys didn't say much, one girl positive and one girl negative. My husband is ok with it, but has not said much. Hoping to find encouragement and friends who understand on this site. My insurance does not cover the surgery, so I am self pay. Therefore, I will be traveling to Cancun, Mexico for the procedure. It is about 1/3 of the cost. One of my sisters is a nurse and will travel with me. I look forward to getting to know each of you and hope I can encourage you also.

      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. 🤞
