I'm sorry, i dont want to scare u, it suppose to only happen to 2 % of people and once it happens, you are a higher risk for another slip, thats why i'm scared, I feel better today, doing protien shakes and yogurt and doing ok. ill test it out tomorrow and see how it goes, thanks for your encouraging words....:ohmy:

So sorry... my words were not encouraging at all- because I'm too new at this to help much. I did pray for you and sent you thoughts of wellness a few times today.

I kept looking for a reply and when there wasn't one... I hoped all was OK. The fact that you are feeling better today is an excellent sign. Even an unexperienced bander like me can tell you that.

Sometimes I wonder if when we start feeling so much better we do a bit too much. I know myself it's been 4 wks and I feel great and my back doesn't hurt anymore, my knee isn't sore. I can do things I haven't been able to do in a while but have to remind myself..... go slow!

Starting weight (first weigh-in) 238 Today 212 !!!!!!!!!!!!:scared2:

      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.
