Hello All. Surgery in 10 hours.



Recommended Posts

Well first let me say hello and thanks for all the great things I have read so far. My surgery is only 10 hours away and I am very excited. Lost almost 20lbs on the last two weeks of liquids (with the occasional cheat) and that has me feeling great. Got alot to lose but a huge support system around me so lets get this party started !!! My biggest fear/frustration is the next few weeks of more liquids but all in the name of a better me I say. Got 3 beautiful kids that need daddy to get healthy and help them grow and a wife who is my entire world who deserves more than I could ever give her. Figure a healthy husband is a good start. Well anyway thanks for reading all this and heres to a physical rebirth. Lets ride !!!!!!!!:Dancing_biggrin:

Good Luck ! I jut had my surgery yesterday. I am a little sore as expected. Feels like i did a whole bunch of crunches LOL. Its tender to roll over in bed and coughing, sneezing and hick ups are not your friend. Be gentle when doing these things. grab a pillow and hug it to relieve some of the stress from coughing. Good luck..my proceedure took about an hr. Congrats on starting a new healthier life style!

Good luck to both of you. Doing this for yourself is your first priority. You are doing the right thing. I'm doing great as I have lost 40 lbs since march 16. As for the pain, in about 5 days, you will hardly notice you had surgery. You will however need to follow the rules of eating and drinking. These are very important.

Congrats to both of you. You're going to love the results!

      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.
