My husband and I both are having VSG on February 15th at BariatricPalMX. We started our pre-op today. Reduced calorie for a week then full liquids till surgery day.

I am just finalizing all our travel plans now and getting so freaking excited!

My surgery is scheduled for Feb 12th & at this very moment I am terrified, 2nd questioning my decision, talkinging myself out of it then remembering why I am doing it in the first place & talking myself back into it... right now I feel like i'm on a roller coaster ride.

You have a bad case of the whim wahs,many of us have had them. Its getting closer every day, I would bet you're 85-90% wanting to do this but there is a small little voice saying Run Baby Run, it is scary facing the unknown. You have to keep moving forward, don't let dread take you captive. The good things in life are the hard things of life, always been that way. But you are growing in strength, resolve and believing in yourself, and you will make a success of this thing. AND OH THE FINAL BENEFITS ARE TRULY WORTH ALL THIS PREPARATION. You will wake up February 12th after your surgery still you, just facets of you will have changed, but you will find your feet again and you'll make it through, we faced it ourselves and we'll be here cheering you on! So Wee here the roller takes its last bend and you're home safe and free!

Wow thank you for the awesome words of encouragement, I appreciate it so very much. I wasn't sure about joining this site because i'm not very tech savvy & I hate to admit it took me a few minutes to figure out how to comment back. But I am so glad I did, again thank you

On Day 11 of my liquid diet. It's been rough. I did semi cheat on day 8. . .I ate 4 bites of cottage cheese and then cried lol Feb 1st is so close. Tonight I am packing my hospital bag because my surgery is at 9:40 am on Friday. My husband bought me a shirt that says Downsizing in Progress to wear the day of surgery. lol He gets me haha I'm so anxious and excited at the same time. 8 months of hard work and 47 lbs already gone. Congratulations to all the Feb Sleevers!!!

      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. 🤞
