Hello! My surgery (sleeve) is Nov. 6th. I start 1 week all liquid pre op diet tomorrow. It has been a long year preparing for this and I could not be more excited (and scared).

I want to be able to play with my 1 year old grand babies and chase them without being sore the whole next day! I want to be able to go to the BEACH again! And SWIM without being embarrassed! I want to put me/my health first again. My Surgeon required no smoking at all for 3 months prior to surgery so I quit!! After 30 years! That's how badly I want this. I never ever thought I could quit smoking, that is as huge as the surgery itself! I'm looking forward to being on here and lifting each other up as we go through this together 🙂

I'm a Realtor so a lot of what I do is from home. Hopefully I can get still get a lot done from home while recuperating.

(My picture is from 5 years ago, the last time I remember feeling ok with myself)

I am taking off 6 weeks - I have 13 weeks in my sick bank and lose them when I retire in 2021. Actually I am on vacation now - for 2 weeks before surgery days I would lose if not taken. Total off work 8 weeks .

Wow, same day! My pre-op is going OK. I'm only on my second day of liquid. Hunger is manageable but it's hard to be around people at work for lunch. I don't want to be antisocial but the smells and sights are just so hard right now. I'm going to get some pre-op blood work done tomorrow during lunch because my office does free pizza every Friday. Great for morale, bad for my waist.

How are you doing?

      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.
