Would do it again and again



Recommended Posts

I have been through a lot with my surgery. I've suffered complications and I haven't been able to eat a meal without pain in almost eight months.

It's been an ordeal and its cost me time and money and pain upon pain and my family strife and embarrassment and you name it.

But you know what? I would do it all again. Because I LOVE my body and I do feel ever so much better.

So if your on the fence just know that even in my shoes, I would do this again. It's given me my life back.

Oh you poor thing! ???? I'm really glad you feel it was definitely worth it though. One of my big worries is how I will cope with looking after my kids and being at work if I have any complications or long term pain issues-my husband is not entirely supportive of me having the surgery, and when I had my gallbladder removed last month I was back doing all the housework after a couple of days because he wouldn't lift a finger to help me ???? Still I am sure I've made the right decision and I can't wait to get started ????

      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.
