May July dawn and be beautiful for all of you, you will have a beautiful month for surgery and recover in. AND I am excited for YOU ALL as you start on your Post Surgery journey. You may have rough starts but things quickly realign, a little less discomfort daily, a little more energy returning, for Major Surgery is just that, MAJOR , and for a while you feel the world🌎 wobbling on its axis but things smooth out, get better and better. And you will feel proud of YOU, for you met the challenge and prevailed. And no matter if you have scars, bruises and dings to your chassis, you are a Strong Survivor! So raise your clenched fist high, you have the true power within!

@Frustr8 - you always say such nice, encouraging things. You are one of my favorite ppl on here!!

I am a couple days away from 4 months post op. Best thing I have ever done for myself. The changes physically, mentally and in my health in 4 short months is nothing short of amazing. I wish you all the best and a quick healing. There will be some tough spots but keep looking ahead. It will all pass. Keep us posted!

My surgery is scheduled for noon tomorrow! Feeling pretty positive, and I've been listening to the audio book of Brene Brown's "Daring Greatly", but I'm definitely getting some pre-surgery jitters too!

Great book! A new door opening and a new life on the other side! Best wishes!

      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.
