Hello all! It's normal to be nervous. As long as you follow your surgeon and NUT's instructions you will be fine. July 31st is my 1 year anniversary. I've lost 100 pounds. I would like to lose another 10 pounds but I'm happy either way. I feel better and have a lot more confidence. I was out of work for 2 weeks and 3 days. I had gastric sleeve, my gallbladder removed and a hiatal hernia. The health benefits outweigh the risk. Good luck ladies.

Thank you for sharing. Congrats to you on your 100lb loss! ! That's awesome! Cant beleive they removed your gall blader and fixed hernia...that's alot! I'm nervous about so many things but one of my biggest fears is getting a leak. I have heard a few horror stories. I also want to be able to get all my fluids in those first few days. Everyone says that it's hard at first but that it gets easier as time goes on. Just want to get this weight off already.

It's not going to be a walk in the park but it's well worth and gets easier with time....well somewhat easier. The head hunger and desires kick back in over time. So make sure you start making healthy choices from the beginning. I have been doing combination of Whole 30 and Paleo eating/dieting for the the last month. The more I eat healthy the more I want to and crave healthy foods.

My hospital gave me a ton of the one ounce medicine cups and told me to sip one every 10-15 minutes. I did that for the first 3-4 days but got tired of filling those little things up so started drinking out of a regular cup or bottle. It did help me from drinking too much at one time.

You will do great! Just stick with the plan and start making healthy choices from the beginning. If you see you're picking up bad habits put a stop to them before they get out of control.

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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
