Just drank my last Protein Shake pre surgery!!! Clear liquids only tomorrow and surgery 7:30 am Wednesday!! Nervous and Excited!

Was banded today (out patient) and not much discomfort. Left shoulder ache using heating pad helps 100%. A hiatal hernia was aslo fixed and more discomfort in the area. Taking liquid pain meds for hernia. Prior to hospital release I walked many minutes with a nurse.

My doctor didnt want me to use ice chnips for 24 hours. I see him on followup in 2 weeks.

Be positive and your day will be here soon.

Be positive and follow any and all doctor directions pre-op. Makes band day easy. Mine was easy. Very little discomfort except hernia repair. Banded 8 hours ago.

I am being banded on the 10th. Doing good on the pre-op diet, but getting nervous on the surgery.

Just stay focused on what you are doing on Pre-op by eating right. I will be a 100% boost in your recovery state. Lots of Protein and take all your Vitamins. Have gas-x, Liquid Tylenol just in case. Make sure you have a heating pad and know where it is. I plugged mine on one day and checked it out. Have ice cubes for blender ready. Any food panty shelves, please use those for your lapand food items. For a few days you won"t feel like bending over, believe me. Being single, I purchased a pickup objects from Walgreen. It's mostly used by people who cant bend over and picks up lots of things off the floor/rub.

Best wishes on you day. It will be here quickly!

      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. 🤞
