How are you feeling? Better yet what’s your channel? I’m vlogging my journey as well. I haven’t had surgery yet but you guys can definitely check me out and follow my journey. I try to post videos once or twice a week on my progress. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoDS8UYKi9Wu1__0j9qJ8rA you may have to copy url in a webpage

Hi everyone! I'm in the process of getting approval and on my last step. Today is my endoscopy and then I'm finished. My doctor is scheduling at the end of April, beginning of May right so fingers crossed that all goes well and I get one of those dates. This has been such a long road so far. I went to my seminar in October and didn't get to have my first consultation until the end of December. I'm just so ready for the day to get here. I'm going to start vlogging my experience soon.

Hi everyone :) I'm 25, American living in Turkey. I have my sleeve surgery date set for April 9th here in Istanbul (less than a month away!) and i definitely want to connect with people on here because my location makes finding support a little difficult.

I just had my final visit on March 8. Submitted to insurance and waiting for the approval. Then we schedule the surgery. I'm nervous and excited.

      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. 🤞
