My surgery is coming up on June 27th and I start my liquid diet Monday. I am very nervous and I don't know if it's just the nerves or my habit of overthinking everything. But I keep getting a feeling that I'm making the wrong decision going threw with this. Or that I won't be able to do it. Did anyone else feel like this before their surgery? Does anybody have any regrets about having it done?

My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

The beginning is tough but before long it'll be just a memory. Good luck to you!

I had recently got sleeved and I started to overthink and worry as my date got closer. I thought I wouldn't be able to have my fav dishes again...I thought something would go wrong.. I thought to myself "am I really ready for this?" But yes..I was.. I haven't had any complications. It's just a tool to get you started on your weight loss journey. .. that's how I see it now ???? before I went into the OR I cried because I was scared. But u knew I wanted and needed this and I also remembered my dad went through a bigger surgery than I was about to go through and he came out fine... I think if your really ready you'll know but thst over thinking is normal..good luck ????

Hi there! I had my surgery on June 01st. I was feeling just like you. You are doing the right thing for yourself. If you don't do it, then you will have regrets. Go on! Now is YOUR time!!!!

I always ask myself have I exhausted every Avenue to lose weight possible... I have. I think it's perfectly normal to question yourself about this surgery. This is life CHANGING!!! Which is so scary to those of us who have used food for comfort etc... your making the right decision... keep moving forward. What do you have to lose by getting the surgery? Nothing at all!!

I had worries before and regrets right after, but it was all worth every minute. I would not change a thing.

I have lost approx 70 pds and will hit my 6 month anniversary in a few days. I am super happy and proud of myself for pushing through the before and after.

I lost 26 pounds in the first 30 days after my op. I m almost 5 weeks out. I still can't eat much but I feel so much better. As for being afraid I think we all are before surgery. Regrets,none. So far. Good 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.
