Count me in! I was scheduled to have my sleeve surgery tomorrow, but I have a bad chest cold. When the anesthesia dept. called this morning for the pre-op check-in, the NP listened to me cough and said no way would they do surgery on me at this point! With their requirements and my schedule, I'm rescheduled for July 18th. I just finished my 2 week pre-op, liquids-only diet but of course can't keep doing that until july 18th! I need a way to encourage me to stick to healthy eating before I go back on liquids-only (July 4th) so this is GREAT!!!

I'm in already but didn't give stats. Heading out of town for the weekend so put me at SW 218 and goal 199!!! Probably not attainable but wouldn't it be amazing????? Will be chaperoning scout camp in there, with a mile walk to the mess hall! The downside? Not much control over the menu. Wish me luck!!

      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.
