Hi Leanne, I’m in Kent. I have got my surgery 11th January. Giving myself plenty of time to absorb what I’m about to do to myself. It’s certainly a roller coaster of emotions and I worry about how I will deal with not being able to eat and drink after, but then that’s why I am here in the first place. So it’s about trying to balance the positives with the negatives. I’m not worried about having the surgery at all -it’s just the after and the total change of lifestyle that I’m going to have to let go of! Anybody else had or have the same feelings? How do i get through this bit?

Hi. Thanks for replying! At last - someone I can talk to! I’m having the gastric sleeve on 11th January. I’m currently about 230 pounds. Had enough of being depressed about weight and not being able to stick to a diet. I’m 55 and want to change my life forever! How about you?

      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. 🤞
