Thank you so much! You have already been a big help just knowing what to expect. I hope someday we can meet at a group session. I plan to go to those for a long time. I feel really good about Dr LaMasters have heard so many great things about her and staff and loved meeting her at my appt.

She is absolutely amazing!! Her entire team is top notch. Everyone from the sweet lady that did cleaning in my room, all the way up to the surgeon....they all treated me so well. They're there for us every single step of the way. And my primary care Dr is just as amazing. She's in indianola....Reagan Barry. I sipped cream Soup tonight....Ooooh my. Pure heaven. And I had a sugar free popsicle. Mmmm. It's the little things that make me smile lol

My energy is better every day. We've been out at stores or running errands almost daily since Monday. My stamina is low though. I can't go for long before I need to rest a bit. I'm honestly shocked at how well I feel after having a pretty major surgery. I can't stress enough, relax and just follow whatever the team tells you. You'll rock this!!

      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. 🤞
