4 More Days Until My Tt!



Recommended Posts

I am so flooded with emotions right now....nervous, anxious but still very excited! I am a planner by nature so I have cooked tons of band friendly, high Protein foods and froze them, done all my laundry, done grocery shopping, filled my prescriptions, etc. I am now just waiting, waiting, waiting. I just want this behind me now so I can just recover and look forward to a fun summer. I am not sure if I will have the courage to post before pics because I HATE my saggy, floppy stomach right now. Maybe I will get the courage to post some after ones....wish me luck!

Best of luck to you! Wish I had the courage to do it. But, I am 63 years old, and don't like pain. I just have to deal with the puochy belly. Karen

you're gonna be so excited you are going to want to post the pics. You will not care what your before pic looked like because you will be so excited that isn't how you look anymore. Believe me, I felt the same way. I was super excited about my results and couldn't wait for my after pics.

Good luck, speedy recovery and congratulations.

I'm with you hun. Thursday will be a blur and by Sunday you'll start to feel human again. You already look fabulous! Imagine how you're going to feel without that extra skin.

Take care and let me know if you need anything.

So one more day and it's your big day! Take care, and rest. You're in very good hands with Dr. H.

Drop me a line or post when you feel up to it so that I'll know you're doing well.

You already look fabulous! This is the icing on the cake.

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and I know that the first couple of days are pretty uncomfortable, but it gets better each day after that. And, it's so worth it!

You're very fortunate to be able to have this surgery.

Keep smiling teeth_smile.gif . I'll see you on the other side - the side with the flat tummies.

So I am home and doing well. Took 4 pounds of extra skin off. Took my 1st shower today and feel a bit more human. The pain is very manageable too. I check in with the surgeon on Wednesday and will hopefully get a clean bill of health and one of the drains removed. Thanks for all your support!

      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.
