Anxiety is normal but serves no purpose :) Just count the days, focus on prepartions, and start positive thinking. You'll do great!

Sarah, I am 2 and half weeks out and I am having the same thoughts. I was almost in a panic when they gave me a date because it became more real. I am just focusing on the positive like not having diabetes and having more energy to do things with my husband and daughter. I am such an independent person and the backbone of my family that being incompasitate for a short period of time scares me. I have started mainly focusing on cleaning my house from top to bottom, organizing bills and doing yard work to get ready for the winter. Doing all this stuff gives me less time to focus on unpleasant things.

They are all great ideas! And your worries resignate with me being a mum of 4 there is alot to think about while we recover! But you have a great attitude. I am trying to think of the positives and I think for me it's the waiting around for surgery to happen, that gets to me. My mind goes into overdrive while I'm waiting. But hey I've waited long enough for this so another 6 days won't be any harm! Xxxx

      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.
