Hi All!

I've been lurking for a week or two and got financing approval today, so there's no turning back, I thought I should introduce myself! I'm planning on having the procedure done 9/30, just working on final details... I'm so grateful for this site and all of the information - answers to so many of my questions.

I'll look forward to getting to know everyone, and appreciate the support that you give so freely!!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome!!! I've learned SO much by reading these boards, and I can't believe how many of us are out there!!! I'm a little nervous, of course, but so excited about actually being able to attain the goal I've had for so long... I lost 50lbs. on WW, but have been stuck there for a long, long time, dieting and exercising along the way, but without any success. It's so frustrating. So I'm so happy to have found a solution that will help me have the power to lose it for good!! I can't wait to go on this journey with everyone - this really is awesome, thank you!! :)

      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.
