Jerseydiva15....our time is near! I'm nervous. Never had surgery before, never stayed in a hospital.

BTW. I got my letter it says 11:45 surgery. Also, how did you know you had to do a pre op diet. No one from the office contacted me about one but I'm going to do a modified one just because.....

JerseyDiva, my surgery is the 24th and I'm getting nervous! I'm concerned about adhesions and scar tissue in my abdomen from previous abdominal surgeries. I've got my fingers crossed and praying that it's not an open procedure. My sugery isn't until 1:30 in the afternoon and I have to be at the surgery center at 10:30. I suppose if it's in case the previous surgery gets done earlier. I'm having this done out-patient.

@hiphop I'm excited for you. I got info about diet from the nutrionist. It was depending on bmi. Mine is 43 so I had to do 1 week of liquid diet. Very hard!

@ dm. Its not an open surgery. Very invasive. As per surgeon its just a few cuts. Everything will be great. Make sure you keep us posted!

@ thin mint we are on the same boat. Date seems so far yet so near. I can't wait! I'm looking forward to my new life!

How exciting! I'm getting banded on Aug 25 as well!! Unfortunately I'll be footing the bill myself.... a whopping $16,000 + airfare and hotel, etc. Super excited and can't wait to get back to being able to eat real food... just a lot less of it :biggrin:

      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.
