Exactly One year ago tomorrow I got the call from my Dr Office that my insurance co approved the surgery and the Dr had a Patient cancell her surgery on Aug 10. So they asked me if I could start my liquid diet phase and I could have that date. I did and its the best thing I have ever done.

I have it on good information that people who have the surgery in August recover the fastest after the quickest surgeries.

So good luck to all you having your proceedures this month.

I am sooo nervous and excited at the same time.. I have no idea what to expect. Will I be hungry??? I thnk that is my biggest fear. Being hungry and not being able to eat.. How did everyone do post op. I have been reading the site and it seems that alot of people had problems with gas post-op.. any comments

Hi, I have only just found you guys and I am so glad I did. My date is Aug 1st, and to be honest I am a bit of a wreck. My DH is out of town on business and I find my brain is running overtime. Thanks for being here :}

      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.
