Hello! August 21st here. So excited and nervous for this journey! I'm a single mom of two teenagers, and this is really the first major thing I have done for myself ever.

I am having surgery tomorrow aug the 8th. I am very nervous and wondering am I doing the right thing. My family is also very nervous about this and I think it probably makes it worse. Need advise to calm me down. I worry about complications which I am sure everyone does!

Sorry you're getting nervous. I get sleeved on Wednesday and I'm worried that I'm really not nervous. My family is more nervous than I am. Please know that there are risks with any type of procedure. Serious complications are rare and usually not life threatening, from my research. I think it's the few that you do hear from that gets us concerned. Weigh your options dear. Pros and cons and see where you come out... I did and my current medical conditions were the deciding factor. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you much luck.

At this point you've been through all the preparation and decision-making. You know this is a better option than the health risks associated with obesity. It's a very safe surgery--very low rate of complications: That's not a guarantee, but if it were the lottery, you'd like the odds. Take a deep breath, stay calm as you can, and look to the future. It can be fantastic! Good luck.

It's very normal to be nervous. I had mine done last tues 8/1. Everything was ok for me. Just remember to keep your eye on the prize. My family was more nervous than me. You will hVe some discomfort and they will give you pain meds. You'll be great!! Keep us posted.

I had anRNY on Aug 2 and I have no regrets. Yes , I was nervous, but every time I looked at the future without the surgery I knew I was doing the right thing. I'm still new at this but I have a great team at home and the Dr. practice who are there for me.

You've got this!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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
