Hello, my name is Nancy and I started this journey at 3:30 on October 28th but I am Texas. Maybe we can stay in touch because my pre-op schedule is a lot like yours...I am excited but a little nervous especially all the Protein we will need and I hate the taste...other than that I just hope and pray it helps me

Hey Jersey folks!! I'm from Jersey City and my surgeon will be Dr Buwen from NJ Bariatric Center. I started this whole process on Sep 28 and my tentative surgery date is Jan 6. I've completed all my insurance requirements and am so ready for the big day!

Good rainy afternoon from Jersey all..... 13 days post op and feeling pretty good. Down 16 pounds since surgery date. Feels good.

I didn't lose much on pre op so I'm not even going to include that.

Wishing everyone much success

      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. 🤞
