How are all the Dec. 21st peeps doing? I'm "nerve-cited" as my kids would say. I keep cycling through the "what ifs?" and worrying about ruining Christmas for my family if god forbid something should happen during or after surgery. I am trying to focus on the future and how happy I'll be with this decision a month or two down the line. Just a ball of nerves I guess. How is everyone else feeling?

I don't check in until 1 pm - surgery at 2:15. I'm going to be starving, but oh well! I am just nervous about complications and the impact on my husband and three little ones. But I know major issues are statistically rare so I just need to take a deep breath and trust all will turn out fine. Would love to keep in touch and hear how everyone's procedure goes. Wishing all 21st sleevers safe, complication free procedures tomorrow with easy recoveries!

      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.
