Hi๏ปฟย everyone! Iโm brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and Iโm just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. Iโve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTokโs, ect.. trying to prepare my๏ปฟย mind and what to expect so Iโll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and e๏ปฟxcited. However, now that Iโve done everything & itโs almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc Iโve tried everything and I just donโt feel like I can lose weight by myself. Iโm tired of being overweight my entire life. Iโm miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I donโt want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. Iโm scared of complications like Iโm๏ปฟgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didnโt 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 canโt and donโt possess the discipline. Iโm also afraid I wonโt be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I donโt know how to eat healthy really and donโt enjoy healthyย food. I donโt know how to do this! I feel so defeated!๏ปฟSomeone 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.๏ปฟยท 1 reply

Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
