I need someone who will care, cheer me on and encourage me and help me with this journey. If your willing to check in with me and offer me support and advice I will be forever grateful!

You will do great. Think about how much energy you will have to play with your son.

I can do this for you, let me know if you'd like my email or cell number. I can totally understand this, as I don't have anybody really either. There are two people in my life who care, and I can't really pound this into the ground with them.

I was a gym monkey and weight trained and also know a lot about nutrition. I'll be sleeved on June 16th but they may move my date up.

You've come to the right place. Posting here will get you a loving answer, and honest answer, a gentle reprimand, a push in the right direction... I could go on and on. These last two months would have been near impossible for me without this support board. It is the place I can come where I know ya'll get it. I read all the time here and get notified when new posts are out. I search for questions that may have already been answered. Love this place and I'm confident you will too.

Welcome!

      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.
