So, a wee bit about me. I'm 31, Scottish, but live in Australia now. BMI 35.

I Have my VSG booked in for the 26th of September. I'm not planning on telling any friends or family, and I'm going to Tijuana, Mexico to have it done. If anyone would like to buddy up and have someone to chat about what we're going through, please message me!

Anyone else in a similar position?

I'm scheduled for September 6th, but self pay and my mom is helping me so I'll be nervous until everything is paid. Mine is being done in Austin, TX, but I don't think I'll be telling anyone that doesn't already know. I have a lapband now and wish I hadn't told anyone about it because it makes it really awkward when it doesn't go well. Even then it was only close family. I'm 31 as as well. How long will your flight be to Tijuana?

Hi everyone! I'm also set for surgery on 9/26 in Tampa, Florida. I'm filing through my insurance so I've been working on jumping through all of the hoops since February. Part of me is super excited to get this started and part of me is scared to death. My BMI is 40 so I keep 2nd guessing myself by thinking maybe I should try one more time to do this on my own. Honestly though I've tried probably 100 times. I have PCOS so that makes it much harder.

Completely agree!! Even people who've had complications say they'd do it all over again. That's what keeps me going. :-) I'm looking forward to being healthy and living a better life.

Hi everyone! I'm finished with all pre-op but probably won't get a date until early September. I'm getting nervous and excited! I've been having 2 Protein drinks and one small low carb meal for the past 5 weeks! I'm losing but it's tough! I need to exercise but hate it!

I just got the call this morning 9/26!!!!!! Springfield IL. I'm so excited! The last week has been so hard full of ups and downs trying to get ahold of the surgeon to schedule. Telephone tag is no fun!

Is anyone else on FB? Would anyone be interested in starting a fb group of our "sleeve" class?

      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. 🤞
