Just noticed - our birthdays are 1 day apart (although you're just a young chick); our RE-birthdays are in the same month. Cool!!

I'm scheduled for October 22nd - only three weeks! I've been working on this process since May, but now that it's almost here, I'm kind of scared!

I am now 2 days away from my date of October 6, starting to get a little nervous. Think I'll head to the Mall and window shop for new cloths.

Evidently not many scheduled for October yet, let us know

Scheduled for Oct. 20th but have not gotten approval from insurance yet so trying very hard to not have my hopes up too high. Good luck to all. I will look forward to learning from those who go before me.

Your presurgery testing was alot different than mine!! I went to the hospital about a week before surgery They drew blood to type in case something goes wrong, took my blood pressure, temp ekg talked w/anatheselogy (that doesn't look right but too early in the am to find the dictionary) and went home

      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.
