Ah, we have a Fago de Chao here -- now THAT is a place I sadly won't be going to again after my surgery, LOL. If you've never been to a Brazilian steakhouse and you have guys to feed, these kinds of places are quite an experience!

Hi All,

Just received my insurance approval this morning and got a call from my surgeons office with my surgery date of March 28. I have a pre-op appointment on the 5th and I am so ready to get this done. Not too worried about the 2 week liquid diet as I have slowly been moving in this direction to get my body and mind ready. I have been lucky enough to have already lost almost 40 pounds from the start of my Nut. visits back in October and hope to be down 10 more pounds come surgery day.

This will be my first surgery so I am a bit nervous but I am super motivated.

Day 1 of pre-op diet: 829 calories/64 ounces of Water and YES I’m hungry!

I'm on day 8 and today was the first day I felt great. Every other day was a struggle and I felt horrible. My surgery is a week from today, so I'm trying to keep my eyes on the prize. Good luck and stay strong!!

Well, I have the flu. Like the legitimate influenza B flu. Thankfully they said I'm still good for March 5th as long as there's no pneumonia.

I'm now halfway through my 16 day pre op and finding that my moods are all over the place and I'm definitely more irritable than normal.

      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.
