Too many emotions right now. Of course don't want any complications, so worried about the unknown afterwards. I know it will all be worth it come 6 months from now.

You will be just fine....think positive. I wish it was me, I have to wait until the Sept.22nd, I'm ready now. Just make sure you follow you surgeon's guidelines and everything will work out in your favor. Remember to sip sip sip and walk walk walk after surgery. I'm cheering for you![emoji122] [emoji126] [emoji322]

I am not having surgery until June, but I have days when I think"I'm not doing it, it's too scary", then, something happen like today. I was turned down for a promotion because " I don't have enough self confidance" it makes me realize just how much the weight is taking away from me, and I'M SICK OF IT! I wish I could do it tomorrow!

Nerves and fear of the unknown are very real but normal. It is difficult to have patience during the process. Just know you always have support here and most of us are so glad we made the journey. I am 4 years out and 125# lost.

      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. 🤞
