That's great to hear.... I did mean that question for Kay to be honest... but again, good that your husband is also doing well.

Hi! He is doing great! He is really down about not being able to build his fire pit this year lol. I think he was hoping at 6 weeks he would be cleared to lift, but he found out at his 2 week Post op that from 6-12 weeks he’s restricted to no more than 20lbs, so he is really bummed about that.

Other than that, he is healing up very nicely!

Well I'm sorry about the fire pit, but glad to hear he is doing well. His health and well being is obviously more important... does he have any friends who might be able to help him?

No worries. You still have time. I lived off of ice chips, broth, 98% fat free cream Soups (strained!) and Jello the first week (when I could finally keep fluids down). You won’t need too much but maybe have a variety in case something doesn’t settle well. You’ll do great!!

I'll be putting a little bag together this weekend (surgery is tuesday). Chapstick is on the list. a book. my phone. and my going home clothes. my own fluffy sleeping socks. maybe a small pad of paper and a pen for thoughts and questions. I've asked people to NOT send flowers. I dont want to sneeze! Send me a card instead. or better yet, stop by in a few days and vac my house LOL

      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.
