How’s everyone doing? Less than a week to go now- eek! Preop diet is getting easier- down 10 pounds so far! Hope you all are doing well- so much to think about before this happens- a little overwhelming!


Surgery Date: January 8, 2018
Sleeve Gastrectomy

Omg I'm on day two and it's SO hard! I'm so hungry and have a terrible headache. I'm sticking with it and just thanking god that my group only requires one week of pre-op diet! Lol

My surgery is finally here at 10:30 tomorrow am. I did really well with the pre op diet and followed it exactly, but I only lost 2lbs. Kind of worrisome that I can’t even lose weight on only Protein Shakes and a banana.

Mine is tomorrow at 1:30pm. I lost about 6-8 lbs depending on what time of day I get on the scale. We'll be just fine. Good luck tomorrow!!!

I just joined this forum tonight. I am having my surgery on January 8th. In Tijuana Mexico. Do I have a surgery buddy ? I have found people all around but none on that date.

I’m having gastric bypass on the 10th because I’m beyond nervous for the procedure. I’m so worried about complications during or having the surgery! I keep telling myself I have a child....what if something goes wrong! Does anyone else have these feelings? I desperately want my life back because I feel I’ve been stuck in a fat shell!

Hey Lindsay! I'm having my surgery today and I'm a bit nervous, too. I also have 2 small children. The biggest driver for me choosing to have the sleeve gastronomy done is my kids. I know that if I don't do something about my weight it will continue to restrict the activities I can do with them, cause more health issues and ultimately take knee away from them sooner than later. We're doing the right thing for us and our children and will be better moms for it in the end. Keep your head up, congrats on your decision and good luck!!!

I had my band removed on July 31st. Getting sleeved on Jan 8. Good Luck to you!

So we are really in the same boat. My dr. did not require a pre surgery diet. He didn't for the lapband either and I did great for many years. I need to order some Protein Drinks and things for after surgery. It's been postponed on me twice.

      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.
