I'm hoping my date of Nov. 16th will be okay. I'll be going to Mexico. I originally was scheduled with a different doctor, but due to negative press in abundance lately I've decided to switch my surgeon. I'm really looking forward to November buddies!!

Anyone else feel like the waiting is watching paint to dry? Yesterday I got my hair done and I looked at myself in the mirror and I was so sad at how heavy I am. I Usually love getting my hair done but I just felt like a fat person with good hair. It really hit me hard. I haven't mentioned it to anyone until now. November 30 is so far away.... Even if I start on my own I won't see great results.

Went to my first support group today and it was a waist of time, I guess it was because they had a gust speaker. Did not learn anything at all. Hopefully the next one is better.

Hi everyone. I should be having my surgery in November. I have the last of my 6 dietician appointments on 9/25 then they can submit me to insurance. I cannot wait! It has been a long process!

Woo Hoo!!!! Finally some buddies. My surgery is November 12th. I chose that date because it worked best for taking the two weeks off of work. I already know insurance won't pay for mine so I have chosen a surgeon a friend used in Mexico.

And yes! I am enjoying ALL my favorite foods now. I start my two week liquids right before Halloween.

Here's to better health.....later. :)

where in Mexico are you going?

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
