Well it's the day before my surgery and I'm nervous, I've wanted this for so long so lm not sure why I'm not more excited but I'm not.the pre op diet was tough but I did loose about 20lbs and I'm happy about that but the surgery has got me nervous. Just wondering if anyone has any thought on this....

Nervous over the surgery or nervous that you're leaving the love of your life, food? Well, if it's the food, remove that thought from your mind. In time you'll eat what you want to eat, only this time you'll be the one in control.

Food was never a love of mine..don't get me wrong I love food...but I was a bachelor for too long and I would get fast food out of convience. When I had a one bedroom apartment I had a small kitchen and I think I only made pizza out of the oven...mostly because I had to hand wash dishes. I was a lazy bachelor, now I'm married and I've gotten better.

Well I thought I'd check in, I had my surgery Tuesday the doctor said it went well he was happy about my pre surgery weight loss and said my liver looked good witch was something that I was worried about. As of now (Thursday) I've still got a lot of pain probably due to gas but I'm not sure and diarrhea. Is the diarrhea normal? ...

      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. 🤞
