I had my first consult yesterday. It went well. It was pretty emotional though. I almost teared up at one point. My surgeon is very stern and I think he expects a lot from his patients but in return will give just as much back.

I see the dietitian Monday and then back to the surgeon next month, and if he's happy with my progress and commitment, he'll move forward with the next steps.

I'm nervous and excited but mostly very determined. I had to back out of surgery three years ago and I'm not missing another opportunity.

hey guys well just wanted to say hello and welcome to the boards i am about 3 months into a 7 month journey i have my 3rd weigh in on Tuesday. all i can say to those just starting this process is it moves at a pace you do not expect like the days can sometimes be long when you think about the process its self but the weeks and months go by so fast. i mean it feels like yesterday that i filled out my new patient paper work and met with the surgeon so yeah so crazy and that was back at the end of February so just keep your eye on the prize and do not be discouraged if you think you are not making progress as fast as you think you need to be or should be. dont compare your journey to anyone else's dont compare your preop program diet what have you to anyone else's every surgeon is wildly different the reason i say this is because at the end of the day the end of the day we all want the same thing weight loss surgery and to be successful in our journey

      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.
