Would like to join the group please. I'm 53 years young. At 301#

Had the lapband 3 years ago and lost weight but had a lot of medical trouble occurring with it. I lost 60# but fell and broke my leg in July and had to depend on others to cook for me and no weight bearing for 13 weeks I put most it back on. So im going in and replacing the band for the Sleeve. Would love to go through this journey with like supporters.

I'm scheduled for December 22,2016

Good to hear from you. Hope you feel better soon. I'm on the way to Texas now and will be sleeved in the morning at 930 am

Feel like I've been punched in the gut today. My liquid goal today is 48 oz but I don't think I'll make it. I stay so full just sipping!

Good luck to all of you!

Scheduled Dec 6. Very nervous. I am afraid and not sure why? I have had surgery before. I am grieving food already. I am afraid I will never be able to eat normal foods. I could use some support.

I was just sleeved on December 2. I didn't get nervous until I got to the hospital. You will be just fine. Take a minute at a time. Take some deep breathes.

Hello all... I made it to Texas and at the hospital waiting to be called back to be prepped for surgery... excited and a wee bit nervous... my wonderful son is here with me so he is keeping me updated about all latest news in young people world ( he is 20 years old) . So, he is a good distraction. I will post an update when I wake up, lol.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
