I will stay in the Toronto Area until Monday afternoon.

The clinic told me I could fly home Sunday already, but I thought in case something comes up I still have the chance to see somebody at the clinic on Monday morning.

I wonder how I will think about the whole process in a year and how much I will weigh. Oh my, this is so exciting... and a little scary.

Will you fly in to Toronto, too or do you live closer?

I am only an hour away....so I will drive in that morning and come home to the comforts of home. If you need to chat and support over the w/end I can leave my phone #. Are you coming alone? I am sure all will be fine and this time next year is gonna be wonderful - we will be in skinnier clothes, hanging out at pools and enjoying a different, happier, thinner life!!!!!!!

Thank you Suzie! That's so nice!

I will come alone to Toronto and have a nurse taking care of me the first 24 hours.

I have a two-year-old and decided that I feel more comfy knowing my two men at home and doing this adventure on my own. It seems less stressful. :)

Hi Suzie,

It's your big day and I am thinking of you.

I wish you smooth sailing and a speedy recovery.

I am back home with my family and doing okay. I have to be a little careful of my over excited 2-year-old. He has sharp knees and ellbows ;-)

Hi Kat,

Glad you are home with your family. Hope you are doing good. I am up and about - they repaired a hernia while I was under so I have some pain from that. All is good though.

      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.
