Oh my gosh....I am meeting up with a lady who just had surgery with him. We meet the first of the month at Barnes and Noble. Please join us. My surgery is next week and I am really looking forward to it. My name is Belinda and my phone number is 361-960-3075. Please text me. I am assuming your name is Betty. We would really love for you to join us. We have a few ladies who are going to be meeting up with us next month also.

On 6 day of liquid pre op, very frustrated, having second thoughts, realizing I don't have a supportive family. Wondering if I can do this.

Sleeve surgery went well, a little gas pain but no problems with nausea and vomiting. Hospital stay very easy, as hospital has Bariatric Unit and all staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Dr. Stegemann in Corpus Christi did a great job.

Hi, Doing good, starting to get head hunger. I'm not sure if the feelings in my stomach are hunger or something else. How are you doing?

Since I started full liquids, I'm doing much better. I'm trying to figure out the hunger thing too. FYI... sugar free ice pops have been my saving grace for the past couple days..We just have to take it one day at a time. Let's hang in there.

      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. 🤞
