Hi all. I posted earlier I am getting sleeved this Tuesday and was having serious second thoughts. These boards have been a blessing because I have the confidence now to move forward thanks to some great advice and reading about the good experiences people have had and are having with this surgery and life after. Wondering who else is getting sleeved this week and maybe would like a buddy to talk to?

Hi there! September will be here before you know it! Are you nervous at all? I was so anxious and nervous this am I was thinking of backing out but I’m confident now after speaking with people on these boards that all will be ok.

Honestly, not at all. I am excited. Maybe I will get nervous when it gets closer, but I don't think so. Best of luck to you! Remember- your six months in the future self is going to be so glad you did this!

Yes! I know. I keep thinking about months from now - how I will feel. Trying to keep focused on that when my emotions get the best of me. I start my Clear Liquids tomorrow. Thanks for the response!

Luck to you too! Thanks for the encouragement. I had to travel for my op so I'm away from the majority of my support group. Glad I joined this forum!

      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. 🤞
