Hello Everyone! This is my first time posting anything on this site, I've been watching hundreds of YouTube clips about VSG and am nervous and excited about going through the process. I would love to have a friend go alongside me who understands the struggles associated with choosing bariatric surgery. My family doesn't understand, my friends don't understand, my church would never support such a decision - so really, I'm on my own.
About me: I decided after many other failed diet attempts to do VSG after a coworker of mine did it and looks PHENOMENAL! I am considered a lightweight because I'm only 218 lbs with a BMI of 38.6. I don't have any comorbidities so I've honestly been working overtime to gain the 7 lbs I need to hit a 40 BMI (don't judge me). I'm still not there yet but I've def gained weight and feel HORRIBLE!!!! I hate the way I look and feel about myself. But I'm willing to gain in order to lose. I fear getting VSG and losing too much. I don't want to be skinny, like a size 0-2 but my surgeon says African American bariatric patients who get the sleeve tend to lose less than our racial counterparts. Weird. I'd be happy with 140-145 lbs. Anywho, would love to find a friend, or "sleeve sister".
God Bless You All!

Hi! I would love to be your friend & sleeve sister! My surgery date is May 9th and I'm so ready! I'm sorry that you don't have the support system that you deserve, but I'll be here as much as I can. Keep your head up! Be Blessed!

      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.
