Alright, Monday the 20th is the day scheduled for my surgery. Currently I've been on a liquid diet since the 30th of Oct. been the hardest thing I've ever done ! But thinking into the future I'm not sure I'm making the right decision. Has it been worth the struggles for you that have had the surgery?

@Paloomino78

struggles? what struggles? :lol:

YES, YES, YES for me it was

definitely worth it.!!

I had a very easy recovery

you might have some pain, gas,

other normal side effects right

after surgery.

but in the long run, for me, (and

many many/most OP) the WLS is

totally worth it!!:rolleyes:

when/if you read bad stories/posts

they stick out in your head - you don't

see the posts about how wonderful

things have gone.

as far as your cold feet? - put a pair

of socks on silly head:D

common phrase many people say,

"my only regret is not doing WLS sooner"

good luck on monday

speedy recovery

Yes, it has been worth every moment since my surgery date of July 26, 2017. I just wish I would have done it sooner. It's normal to get cold feet as this is a big lifestyle decision. You still have a few more days to research, talk to others who had the surger and most importantly pray that you will have no regrets. It will take a few adjustments afterwards, but it's durable. I love my sleeve. I've lost a total of 80lbs and feel great. No more knee pain. Diabetis and high blood pressure is gone. You will do fine I wish you all the bes in the new and excited journey. Keep us posted. We're here to support 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. 🤞
