Hi Beau

Good for you, congrats on you're success. I am a bit nervous about how my life will change, not about the weight loss issues, I've lost over 50 pounds three times in my life, the typical yo-yo syndrome. Mostly concerned about learning to chew my food properly, not gulp, restrain on the social drinking. My family seems to have a "love" with food, as I'm sure most here do. I have a sister in law that's one of my best friends, she eats like a champion, but metabolizes well. Who knows, maybe my new habits will rub off on her........lol......doubt it! My nerves were a bit shot this summer and took up smoking, really dumb, so today is my quit day, have a patch on my bat wing that's itchy, chewed one of those gross gum this morning, and feel like I have a horn growing out of my forehead............ahhhh withdrawals. At least I have a couple weeks to have this under control before the glorious Optifast stint. Blood work tomorrow morning, then withdraw $16,000. from my bank account for the surgery......boy I'm thinking.......what the hell am I doing? Just hope its all worth it and look back at this whole experience as the best decision I ever made.

      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.
