Oh trust me I know. I Started to get nervous a couple of days before but luckily I was busy all weekend so I was able to keep my mind off it somewhat. By Subday night I only slept 2 hours and was really nervous and emotional! When I left the house and said by to my 5 year old I lost it and the tears just kept coming. But the time I got there I was so beyond nervous my hands wet shaking. Buy the time I got to prep for surgery I was much better just because I think it took forever for that process. I remember laying on the operating table and Themis wonderful nurse looked me straight in the eye and said your going to be so happy. And there I want crying and smile at her! That's when I passed out. I think for me there's still a huge part of me that can't believe I actually did it. And now the journey begins. You'll do great! And if theres any questions well I can only speak for my experience but id love to share!

      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. 🤞
