I'm a little nervous too... I'm nervous about loose skin. I'm nervous about failing. I'm nervous about who I'm going to be in the future. We just gotta stay strong!

My Surgery date is the 23rd of April as well. Approved April 9th, been on 2 Protein Shakes one lean meat since. Down around 12 lbs so far. BMI was 49 UHC insurance just had to be cleared for surgery no sleep/phy/6 months diet/nutrition stuff. Revision from lap band to sleeve. Lapband 5 yrs ago lost 85lbs but last 2 yrs gained 40 back. Tired of the stuck feeling! Best wishes for an easy surgery!

@Sprinkles1 I'm pretty sure your surgery is this week. Were you the OP on this thread? Because if you were then yours is not until next week. Ken the Bariatric Administrator convinced me Friday to install the new Beta version of Bariatric Pal on my Android smartphone. I am trying to learn how to navigate,it, I was offline for BP for over 12 hours. And I see now I wasn't the only one. He asked today for me to give him a review, I gave him both complaints and praise in it. Apparently Alex and Ken upgraded IOS in January or February, I hope Apple owners aren't having,problems again like me. Well I just wanted to tell you I've been watching your progress and I think you are going to make a success of all this. And I certainly are cheering you on!😛🚩

      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. 🤞
