Sept 13th - nervous and anxious... but determined

I think that nails it Joann. I would also add curious. I am looking forward to the weight loss and the improved ease of mobility. But the main thing I really want is to change my relationship with food. I want to be the one in control, and to look at it as fuel and not some enjoyable hobby. Heaven help us all on the pre-diet. That sounds like the hardest part.

Hey everybody! I'm a September 19th sleever. I'll be having mine with Dr. Cauthen at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, MS. I'm so excited!

My husband has his sleeve done this past Thursday, and has done tremendously well. No pain meds since 5 pm on Saturday, he's getting in all his fluids and Protein and walking over a mile per day! I hope I bounce back the way he has!

Good luck to you! Nice that you and your husband will take on there life changes together. That is great!

      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.
