I will not be back....please delete me. This place is full of negativity!!!!!!!!!! What a lesson learned in a few hours.

I'm new to the bandwagon world. I'm still in the pre-op stages and get meet my entire team on 09/24 in Denver. I'm super duper excited to get started and take back my life. I've been doing tons of research and reading forums from Obesity Help, Lap Band Talk and Bariatric Eating's Before and After.

Just for your eyes only. I'm going through Dr. Thomas R Brown in Denver. I'm a cash pay patient and am almost done raising the funds. That's been a chore but I've got awesome friends, family and co-workers. I think that I'll have about #125 lbs to lose to hit goal but I'm totally up for the challenge.

I'd just like to thank everyone in advance for helping me to prepare myself both in mind and body. Here's to you! :omg_smile:

      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.
