Mine is fast approaching. Next Thursday 8/10 is mine, and that day will be exactly 1 month post op from my wife's VSG.

I'm August 10th as well! I think I'm prepared mentally and physically.

Good luck!

Final pre-op appointment with surgeon today. Pre-op clearance with primary tomorrow. Start pre-op diet on Sunday. Surgery on the 28th. Will admit now that I'm having four completely ridiculous "final" meals before then!

Mine is scheduled for August 30th...I'm 31, happily married and father of two beautiful little girls...I'm excited about this journey, nervous about the unknowns but hopeful about the future. My parents are sleevers as well and have had an amazing turn around so I'm blessed to have two success stories close to home and a tight support group. Wish everybody much success in the coming weeks as we get this show on the road!

Mine is 8/21... I am on the two week week before pre op .. the time to do this is when you are young .. life changing

When I was young, laparascopic surgery didn't exist, I don't think. Doing it when one is older doesn't mean that one's life still can't change! not to mention continue for longer than it would otherwise . . .

      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. 🤞
