Surgery Tomorrow! Yikes!!"



Recommended Posts

Well I have posted quite a bit the past 6 or 7 months, asking many questions and just getting as much info and feedback as possible by reading many posts. And now the time has come! It is my turn to go to the other side of the band! Wow! I can hardly believe the time had arrived!

I am quite nervous! Never had any tyoe of surgery so this is my first! And hopefully my only one. :0)

Thank you all for posting on this site. You have been such a huge help to me. I appreciate all of you.

Please say a prayer for me when you can. Thank you! :0)

You will be absolutely fine - literally you will go to sleep and wake up banded - easy as that - will feel like it happened in seconds. Recovery was actually pretty nice - got to relax, watch tv, sleep, take pain meds, have my hubby wait on me - it was like a little vacation! Yes the gas pain hurt but that was the worst of it and i'd do it all over in a second!!!! Best of luck to you tomorrow!!!!!

Ditto on Allison0927's post! That's what happened for me as well. I barely even remember drinking the barium & them doing the x-ray after I "woke up". Hubby and son waited on my hand and foot for days! Lifting up a prayer for you Sassyfrass! Blessings and luck to you!

Wow Corianna! That's awesome! Wish I could make it to that by my 7th week. I don't see it happening. LOL. I know everyone loses differently, but are you doing anything else "extra special"? Pardon me if I'm being too nosy.

:rolleyes: YAY for you! It will go fine, and being post surgery will be preferrable to pre-surgery. Best of luck, enjoy your anesthesia - it really is like no time passed!

Looking forward to your updates after surgery :D

Thanks for all good wishes and prayers from each of you. Corriana, I have to say YOU truly do have a remarkable amount of loss. AWESOME! Very impressive!

I have to be at hospital at 6:00 a.m. so hopefully I will get in and out before I even have time to stress over it.

Thank you again. See you all on the other side!

      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.
