Looking for a buddies



Recommended Posts

I am in my pre-op diet right now. And my surgery is scheduled for Jan 16th. I am in North Florda. Is there anyone who would like to be buddies and keep in touch?

I have a great support system ,but still have been struggling. The closer I get the more nervous and anxious I get. I have a bad problem of second guessing myself.

Been taking it one day at at time. It's a little hard with having to work nights. I've had to switch everything around. :/

I would love to join your buddy list. Don't worry about second guessing.

I had my surgery on the 17th of Dec, 2016 and even on the OT table while waiting for the doctor I was not too sure if I wanted to go ahead with the surgery or just get up and run away. I guess we all go through that because this is a lifestyle altering decision. The two top players that play with your mind are worry and anxiety. Don't let fear in. Keeping telling yourself why you are doing this surgery. Be strong!

I pray to God that he gives you lots and lots of strength before, during and after the surgery. All the very best :).

Thank you! My husband is usually the more positive of the two of us. Lol He keeps me from getting to negative. I appreciate any and all prayers. Do you have a FB or snapchat we can keep in touch. :)

      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.
