wow, this is such a relief to have (very nice) people to visit with that is going thru what I am. I'm a 46 mother of 3 daughters and then 3 foreign exchange students, 1 son-in-law and the most important 1 granddaughter and 1 one the way. 'The Princess' was not impressed about the new brother or sister. She's 3 and very used to being the Queen! I have the support of my husband, kids, and my sisters on having surgery. My mom doesn't know, she would have a cow! She's like 100 lbs, and just doesn't understand why one of my sister and I have a weight problem. I guess she doesn't remember my dads side of the family-hahaha- senior moments, I guess. As far as I know my insurance has said yes. I have a friend who did the banding and stapling- that's not for me! I tried to talk her out of having the stapling kind of surgery but... well I am so glad to meet all of you and will keep you posted, I go for more tests this next week to Lubbock, there sure is alot of test to do. Did everyone have tests, echo,lab, chest x-rays, etc?? And I'm trying (my hardest) to quit smoking not just for surgery (but may be an incenntive! -wish me luck! 237 lbs nana

      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.
