Hello everyone, so my name is Stephanie I have recently had my vsg surgery on June 10 2026. I am doing ok but just need some guidance just a nervous wreck and don't want to do the wrong thing. Mentally it really is a lot. I'm so happy I did it and I can't wait for a better healthier life. I just feel alone really through it all.

Welcome, Stephanie. What exactly are you afraid you might do wrong? You've already done the hard part!

I'm sorry you feel alone. Does that mean you don't have friends and family who can offer you support?

For what it's worth, you've come to a great place for support. I've been here 20 years and thousands of people have passed through in that time, and so many of them were just fantastic.

I'd love to hear more, but in the meantime, look up at the right corner of this page at the Search feature. If you have a specific fear, like "post-op diet" or "gas pains," just type it in and you'll see dozens or hundreds of post from members who had the same fears or experiences.

You are not alone. You're here and we're listening, ready to share with you.
