January 20, 2016 is my surgery date! I'm nervous, excited, and relieved all at once. With the holidays approaching and some Last Suppering, I KNOW I'm going to eat more than I should, so I plan to counter the extra calories with more exercise time. The timing feels so good to me. My new beginning will be at the new year. My heaviest weight ever was 256 lbs. In my adult life my lowest was 125, back in my early 20's. I'm 48 now and I just want to be healthier. I quit smoking in October to be able to have this surgery. I take cholesterol and blood pressure meds that I'd like to be able to rid myself of. I no longer drink sodas or use artificial sweeteners. I'm trying very hard to incorporate more fresh foods into my diet and less processed ones. My overall goal is health, but I admit I can't wait to see the numbers on the scale get smaller as well as my clothes size. ????

Cheers to us all for a happy and healthy New Year! ????????

There's only a handful of us right now, but if you'd like to be added, feel free to send me your email in a message and I can send you an invite. Yay for a date!!!

I got the call last Monday! January 6th is MY day!!! Lol it's so crazy how none of this felt real until I got that date. Maybe a part of it still doesn't but I'm sure it will pass. Right?

I'm having a conversion from band to sleeve. Band was a disaster so feeling hopeful the sleeve works for me. Where do you live?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got 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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
