I am so super stoked about my surgery tomorrow. I can't wait!! Nervous but the excitement of a healthy life overpowers all my fears! Can't believe I've come so far and am gaining control back over my life. I feel like I'm graduating or something. Just so proud of myself.

If u fail to plan, u plan to fail.

How you doing after surgery? Mine was Wednesday May 4th. I'm doing very well. Sure hope I'm eating enough. I have a question. How's the hair loss? Mine is a short pixie. I swear it's falling out faster. I was taking Biotine prior to surgery. Is it safe to start taking again? See Doc Wednesday top on my list of questions.

Just had my 6 week check up and I am down 32 pounds. Today I get to go back to unrestricted food other than a few exceptions. It is so worth it. The surgery was not nearly as bad as I feared. The liquids and pureed foods period seems to go on forever but it really doesn't. Feeling very good about the whole experience so far. Good luck to you who are having surgery soon. The anticipation is worse than the reality. And yes the night before and day of surgery I was asking myself, "What the hell are you doing?" Perfectly normal. The worst part will be over soon.

      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. 🤞
