Surgery In The Morning



Recommended Posts

Hello, my name is Diane. I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning. A little nervous, a little excited. Things have progressed very quickly from my decision to persue the Lap Band to my pending surgery. I guess I'm lucky in that regard but it all seems a little surreal.

Best wishes to you! You will do great... just think about how great your life is going to be after you get this all set! Fight through the discomfort, walk as much as you can as soon as you can and do whatever your doctor tells you. Good luck tomorrow!

Hey Diane -- I'm tomorrow too. Without seeing your post, I pretty much just wrote the same thing -- I can't believe how quickly this has all come to be! And tomorrow, we'll be banded!

I'll be sending you lots of healing thoughts.....

Congratulations! Mine was quick too but good thing or I would have chickened out. :) I bought a book about lap band successes to keep me in the right frame of mind while healing. Good luck!

      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.
