For her it's really a simple procedure, all she has to do is show up, they do all the rest.

You should probably practice wringing your hands and pacing. Surgery should take 30

minutes to an hour, then an hour or two in recovery. Don't bring books, maybe an iPod

if she's really into music. She won't be able to eat or drink for a few hours, so no pizza

or coke. Depending on your facility, she may stay overnight or go home the same day.

If you have a choice, try for the overnight. Everyone wants to go home ASAP, but

I like the security of an O/N stay. Best of luck to you both.

Oh, don't forget to take slippers and PJs. The hospital gowns are quite revealing.

I second everything on this post! Just be kind, she will need you to just be there and take her for walks down the hall, etc. I, especially, like the advise of spending the night, if that is part of your facilities and insurance companies plan. I did not feel like making my husband do everything for me. And I wanted someone to be able to check on me, at times! Goodluck to her and you. Karen

That's the best thing for her. I walked like crazy my after noon in the hospital after surgery and never slowed down when I got home!! I truely believe that's why my recovery was soooo fast. I wasn't very sore at all and I just had one day of the gas pains people talk about.. She's going to do great!! I also was not one bit nervous about the surgery - just excited up til the moment the mask went on! :)

I have been walking around the house and trying to do stuff too. Make sure she doesn't lift anything.

        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
