I had to do the 4 classes (which were very helpful and I would highly recommend them) in addition to attending at least one Support Group (I've continued going beyond the one required as I found them even more helpful than the classes). I also had to have blood drawn and an EKG. My PCP also referred me to the sleep lab while I was going through the classes where I discovered I had sleep apnea and was prescribed a CPAP machine.

I have my first group session on November 30th looking forward to learning everything I can. This is a huge lifestyle change and I want as many tools as I can get.

Just got back from my psych eval. Beat my goal weight by 5 pounds and waiting on a call from my case manager to schedule the appointment for my surgery. So excited/scared/nervous at the same time!

That message was actually for the other person who said that they will be in the class on the 29th. When I wrote it I didn't know how to reply on this app but I got it now. Blessings to you as well, take care!

      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. 🤞
