Anyone else feel like they're about to win the lottery? Like, this kind of weight loss is something I've dreamed and wished for and now it's about to come true? It feels unreal.

It feels absolutely unreal! Like I bought a lotto ticket & I'm hoping to win. I'm trying to have realistic expectations, it won't happen overnight, but the fact that it will happen still hasn't fully set in.

I'm going to be documenting my experience in YouTube - I'll post the info when I do. Anyone else planning to do that? I'd love to follow your journey! :-)

I've considered it! I have a few YouTube heroes since this began, Clusie L being my favorite. I just don't know if I'll have the time. Do you have a YouTube channel yet?

I'm still trying to figure out a name for my YouTube channel - might go with "VSG & me" because for some reason my creative juices just aren't giving me anything better! That channel exists but no videos yet - this weekend :-D

      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.
