I'm schedule for Tuesday, June 1st. I am a little nervous but really excited. I know I have a long journey ahead but am so ready. I'm expecting that on about Sunday I'm going to be asking myself "what have I done?" But am mentally prepared to answer myself...you're on the way to the new physical you you've always wanted.

Good luck Beachnutty!

Congratulations everyone! Almost there!!!

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I'm actually kinda looking forward to it. I indulged over the holiday weekend and feel pretty sluggish and heavy now.

Anyone else worry that your family and friends are getting tired of hearing about your surgery and post surgery lifestyle so often? They've been super supportive, but I seem to turn every conversation into speculation on my future sleeved life!!! I'm just so excited!

June 15th for me as well... I've known this was coming for months but it seemed so far away. The insurance approval/surgery date scheduling call made it feel very REAL all of a sudden!

Mine is June 14th. I had my first consult June 15th 2015. I was scheduled for today, but it's best I get it on the 14th cuz my daughter getting out of school and my sister is gonna help me. So anyways, i need to drop weight. I gained alot in.a year. Consult was at 279 I was 300 about a week ago and 290 today. I need to get to 269 by atleast the 8th at my pre op appointment. My surgeon doesn't do two week liquid diet, just a 24 hr liquid. Anyways, hope you're doing good.

I think the closer we get to surgery, it not only becomes more real for us but also the people that love us. Ideally, they would be able to share their worries and fears in a more positive way but sometimes even really good friends have a hard time communicating about sensitive topics and for a lot of us weight IS a rather sensitive topic. Of course friends and relatives might resent losing the person that made them feel less guilty about their own poor habits and they might just fear losing the FUN part of a person that's already a blast to be around. Just remind them how much more fun you'll be when you have more energy and the confidence to do more!

FWIW - When I start to feel nervous I hit up YouTube or these boards to watch and read the success stories and it helps me remember why I made this choice.

      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. 🤞
