Getting My Band Tomorrow And Super Super Nervous :(



Recommended Posts

Seem like you clearly used your context clues and was able to figure out what she meant. I dont see how your post was productive. Just sayin'

Maybe while using the internet to communicate she would learn correct grammar to help herself along in life.

JUST SAYIN'

Wow... Just wow. Anyways, lord help me if I have a typo writing this since my auto correct gets wonky every once in awhile, forgive me oh gods of grammar and spelling that exist out there: ( is this a proper usage of a colon... Gah! I am all a flutter that it is wrong! The internets will be angry!) be brave! You will do great and there are tons of people on this site that are here to support with kind words. (swear it! Typos and all!) :)

I actually always do tell nurses and doctors I have SERIOUSLY deep veins, and the reply I get is 'yea yea, I've been doing this for years, I know what I'm doing' but then they soon realise they've met their match and can't get to my veins and I get so frustrated :( I find that maternity nurses/midwives are good at finding them sometimes, but none of them here :( so nervous something will go wrong tomarro :(

Wow....Anyway, its ok to be nervous. It's a natural reaction. Just explain your concerns before they start & you'll be fine.

Good luck dear! I will keep you in my prayers! No worries, everything will be fine! Just try to drink liquids when you can and try not to tense up when they try to draw blood because that will

make the veins hide! Take care and i wish you a speedy recovery! Keep us updated!

      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.
