@@sbrainwater you summed it up. I was too tickled reading your post. What I have tried to do is take a break from researching any information in regards to the procedure because my "what ifs" kick in. My surgery date is December 8th and the closer it gets the more my emotions run wild. Wishing everyone the best!!!!

It's going to be awesome. Lord please get back on here ASAP after surgery and let us know you did, how bad your gas is, etc. I can't wait!!!

@@fatcinderellasball We are having surgery on the same day!!! Good luck to you and we will have to keep in touch afterward!!!

I am also December 8th, 2015! Congrats and good luck!!!
29 days to go!! 12/08/2015, here we come. Are you feeling ready @@lesley_vsg and @@tera1982 ?
I am nervous(I've had surgery before, but anesthesia is always worrisome; I am only mildly worried about pain; concerned about my diabetes and how it's going to react to my new sleeve(I am a type-1 diabetic on an insulin pump); and also about hair loss as I already have fine, thinning hair although I hear as long as I get all of my Protein and fluids, it SHOULD be minimal-per my NUT). Other than that, lol, I am super excited and ready for the next stage of my life, hopefully a healthier, thinner stage!????
I'm worried about Hair loss too, as I already have thin hair. I have started Biotin supplements already, since I heard they work best before the hair starts thinning. Hopefully it makes a difference. Plus all Protein and fluids like you said!

I did read about some Shampoo that really helps with hair loss. I don't remember what it is but I will start hunting on this site. Btw I am looking on Groupn daily for hair extensions just in case it starts to get embarrassing. I know I'm vain but I just want to be really prepared!

I met with the Dr. yesterday and started my liver reduction diet today. I am tentatively scheduled for Dec 15 - hopefully the pre-certification from the insurance will not delay it.

I will be missing Thanksgiving and Christmas goodies this year, but I am thinking about all of the many wonderful holidays I will have with my family in the future!

I'm getting surgery December 29th. Not super excited about having to go on a liquid diet for Christmas, but I'll manage it because nothing makes me more excited than thinking about getting surgery!!!

      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. 🤞
