I'm penciled in the schedule for December 1 - haven't been approved officially yet but I doubt there will be an issue. I'm around a 39bmi with lots of other problems...

I would say I'm looking forward to it but it's not really true right now :) I know it's the right choice. But I'm super scared.

That will pass I bet but not for now :/

Mine is November 30. I am scared too. I am going to support group tonight. I think it will help. If your group offers that I suggest you utilize whatever they offer. :)

I've been approved. So the December 1 date is transforming from penciled in to inked!

Still feeling conflicted about it though. I'm not sure if I will end up doing it or not.

Why are you conflicted?

Thanks for asking. I no longer feel conflicted about it at all. I'm ready to go! I kind of went through a deep questioning stage for a month or so over the summer. You can read about it in this thread: http://BariatricPal.com/index.php?/topic/351636-Approved---but-Should-I-Go-through-with-it%253F

Everyone's responses were very very helpful. My latest pre-op was super helpful as well: very confirming.

Hi! I am new to the website and had my Gastric Sleeve done on December 1st. How is everyone else that has had the surgery that day faring? I have been using the different powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powders to add variation to the limited diet that we have right now. Using the chocolate splendor works great as a hot chocolate in the morning for Breakfast. It also takes the place of my coffee.

      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.
