tdc,

How exciting! Please keep me posted on how you are doing. As my date approaches I am excited and nervous all at the same time. What about you?

I had my surgery on Thanksgiving. Starting BMI was 29, and my goal is to lose 50 lbs. Since my post op diet, I have lost 17 lbs. It is pretty amazing! I know my weight loss will slow as I get closer to my goal, but I am loving it! Right after my surgery and the next couple of days afterward I was questioning why in the world I would do such a thing. But my recovery has been super quick, I just haven't regained my energy. My 9 year old daughter didn't see me for 4 days when I had the surgery done, and when I returned she kept saying that something looked different about me. After a couple of hours she said, "You look thinner!"

I technically wasn't given an amount. I'm down #40 in 6 weeks. My goal is 40 more. My doc felt I'd lose about 70 -/+. I barely met the 40 BMI requirements to begin with

How did DR and insurance approve you with such a small amount too loose.? I am not taking the want/need to loose 60 lbs lightly. I just know what I had to do and I have 1

90 lbs to loose.

I only have to do pre-op diet for 2 days. Seems so odd after reading on this site. I am trying to cut out carbs - maybe 8lbs. MsMe and Cutepretty1 - you are inspiration that I can do this!!

      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. 🤞
