@@Shelby How do you feel? Tired? Do you have to get B12 shots? I haven't had my surgery done when I signed up for this account because my insurance twice denied me for being too young. I'm 18 now, but I'm scared of the post-operative care. Not the pain or the surgery, but becoming anemic and finding Vitamins that will meet my nutritional needs. Just wanted to connect to someone who's similar in weight, age, and height so I could see what I might look like.

I would love to talk to you! And sorry this is getting back to you a day later. But no actually there is no need to be worried about becoming anemic or anything like that. There are certain Vitamins that my doctor gave me. I'm not sure if your doctor will give them to you or if they have the same kind that my doctor gave me. I would suggest talking to them about the different kind of Vitamins. But it's normal to feel tired easing for a couple of weeks after surgery because you're body is leading how to work differently and adjust t different things. It's really nothing to worry about !

Junior here and getting admitted in the hospital in 8 hours for my surgery on Sunday! Doing it during spring break and worried about what people at school will say. Keeping it on the down low, but do you guys think people will catch on that I got surgery? And is 8 days enough for me to get back to school?

      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. 🤞
