Im getting sleeved on the 22nd. Just met my surgeon yesterday dr. Zelada at kaiser west la , he was impressed with my weight loss since my options class. He offered me surgery on the 22nd, next Wednesday! No pre-ob diet just Clear  liquids the day before and no eat or drink after midnight. I was so suprised.

Surgery in just 6 days, and of course I have a cold. So scared I won't get well enough, and they'll have to postpone.

How are people doing? I'm 4 days post op, came home after 2 days, had solids today (my programs have you on solids by day 4, but it has to be chewed to puree) I had horrible gas pain at first, but that is almost over. I have gotten a sinus infection on top of recovery, but slowly getting better.

I'm down 6.6 lbs since surgery, 19 lbs total since March 6th.

Congratulations! It's amazing isn't it? I remember when I first started last year and how long I had to wait. Now I feel like time just sped by me. Surgery on Monday and I can believe it's finally happening.

Congratulations on your surgery Monday!!! I started in July. I cannot believe it is March 2017 already. Time has flown bye. Back then I thought 6 months is going to take forever 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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
