I'm in!

I got my insurance approval in early August, done the investigations and scheduled the procedure on Aug 30. I ended up cancelling the whole thing due to fear and anxiety and constant question in my mind (am I giving up with out seriously trying diet and exercise?).

What actually prompted me to consider sleeving was the constant pain and agony from Sciatica caused by disc protrusions L3-S1. Living on Lyrica, Arcoxia and muscle relaxants

My current weight is 135 Kg (298 lbs) while my maximum was 140 Kg (308 lbs) last year

Although I got some relief back in july when I went to Bali with my wife to Celebrate our 5 year anniversary when I dropped to 127 Kg (280 lbs) and discontinued my meds, but soon I gained back what lost and reach my 2 year average of 135 Kg (298 lbs) and went back my neurologist to restart treatment for the disc proplase ans sciatica

Just 3 days ago I decided I've had enough and rescheduled the surgery to Nov 1st.

Believe me I’m scared got to little girls and that’s what constantly on my mind. But the pros to this surgery are amazing. I think so many people have successfully done it why not me. Everything will be great! Stay positive.

Arcoxia is a Coxib, is IT a near-enough cousin to NSAIDS that you will have to delete it? Or will you be allowed to keep it since you are a Sleeve Candidate? I have an Ulcer 💢caused by excessive NASID usage, so I worry about it for others.

      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. 🤞
