Hey December 8th sleevers! 4 weeks to go now - how are we feeling??

I'm trying to tie up any loose ends and starting my Vitamins soon. I'm very excited. Not so scared, probably because I've been waiting for SO LONG. :)

I'm scheduled for Dec 8th. I'm a cash pay and draining my HSA and doing care credit for the rest. Besides feeling bad for spending so much money, I'm on board and ready to go on the lifetime journey!

Yep I'm so committed I just sat in a restaurant while my daughter had steak sandwich and a friend had curry and as they had no veg Soup I actually had just Water. Xmas doesn't bother me at all its one too many dinners that got me to 25 stone roll on 2016

Hi

I'm December 8th too & I think doing it cash pay is nothing to feel guilty about! Congrats to you for loving yourself enough to give yourself a healthy & happy future. People spend more money on buying a car. Good luck to us all! ????

Only 9 days left! I'm trying to get completely ready for the holidays pre-surgery since I'm not sure how I'll be feeling afterwards. I have my surgeon pre-op tomorrow, and the hospital pre-op on Tuesday. I'll be asking about what I may need to have at home for when I get out if the hospital. Otherwise I'm feeling pretty good :)

I'm so excited, nervous, and READY! It's almost here and I can't believe it. I've definitely been in a "nesting" type state, cleaning and preparing the house; just trying to get everything ready.

Hello everyone, my surgery date is December 5. I feel worried because I have a plan trip on Dec 11-13. My surgery date was supposed to be early November but it was pushed to December. The doctor said it's ok to travel just don't carry anything heavy. I'm taking a 1% of risk. Well hopefully I get well soon. Good luck to y'all ????

      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.
