I received approval from my insurance company today; so, December the 6th is official for me. I am so grateful because I didn't want this to drag into the new year. There is already a waiting list for the remainder of the year and I am grateful not to be on it. I start my liquids only diet Friday. I am a little nervous just because it is such a life changing move. The unknown after the surgery is what makes me nervous. What will my recovery look like, reintroducing foods when the time comes, etc. It's a nervous excitement though because I decided to do this in July, I haven't looked back and now I am here. I am a little nervous because it is such a life changing move, but I am so excited because it is a life changing move. I am so ready. Looking forward to supporting others along the way!

My pre-surgery work up is Tuesday and I'm super nervous. A liquid diet scares me because I hate the taste and texture of Protein Shakes. Hubby is not on board so I feel I'm in an uphill battle for support. I work full time and go to college full time getting my bachelor's. On top of that I have a 10 year old boy and 7 yo boy with autism. I'm doing this for me to be healthy to be there for my family.

I start liquid diet December 6 and do surgery December 20. My only concern is if I could stick to a liquid diet , I would have done it already and wouldn’t need surgery !😬

I’m scheduled for December 20th. I’ve been on my track since February and I chose December because I’ll already be off for winter break and won’t lose too many days of work. I’m nervous about going back to work after and how the adjustment is going to be, with me, my other teachers, and my kids.

      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. 🤞
