Tomorrow is my surgery!



Recommended Posts

Well, tomorrow is the big day, FINALLY! I have been on a liquid diet for 5 days and I feel like eating my arm off! I have lost 8 pounds total before surgery, and I can't wait until I reach my goal! For now, I just have to say, I am getting banded tomorrow at 8:30am, North Cypress Hospital, by Dr. Waggoner.

Please pray for me and See you on the other side!:P

Same goes for me about tomorrow 8:45am is my time. I have read many people saying how they where so nervous the night before that they didn't sleep well. I think its not so much nerves but hunger that's my problem right now I am so hungry I can't fall asleep. Will be praying for all and good luck.

Good luck to all of you.... my big day is the 28th so I can only imagine how excited you are tonight. I don't know about you but I keep thinking about so many different things. The main one being that there is an actually end insight of not being overweight anymore. And its not a question of "IF" this works but "when" it works.

Hey Guys! Thank you for your support! I did it! I finally got my band!

Surgery went well, Dr Waggoner is awesome, he also corrected a hernia while he was there by the way. I didn't have pain on the incisions, but gas pain that was (is) killing me! I am still at the hospital since I am still unable to pass gas. I have walked, walked walked, sipped liquids every 15 minutes, and still those stubborn gasses are stuck! I will be discharged later today though. I will keep you guys posted!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
