Surgery Tomorrow 8/12, Feeling Like It's Christmas Eve!



Recommended Posts

Well, I've packed my little bag, I have stocked the fridge with what I'll be needing, done the laundry, cleaned the house and I'm getting ready to chill out for the evening. I thought I would be more nervous or even a little panicked, but I'm very calm and really looking forward to tomorrow. I have appreciated all of the hits and tips on this message board pre-op, and I'm excited to tune in for post-op. The first 51 years have been great, except for this weight issue, I know the 2nd half of my life will be even better being in a healthier state.

good luck to you all and prayers going your way! What a wonderful journey you are about to embark on. I was banded 6-13-12 and wouldn't change a thing. Although my weight loss has been slow and steady I'm so happy, I'm down 72 lbs as of today. I'm so very excited for your both, beyond words! First few days for me were painful and I got extremely constipated but other than that, easy peasy. Walk walk walk and sip sip sip when you get home.

hugs

Went great no complications as of yet (knock on wood)... I'm not in a lot of pain I've only take 2 doses of pain meds and I've been walking but the gas is being stubborn. They won't let me take any gas x yet they've only allowed me to have ice Water which quenches all of my needs. I have dry mouth due to the morphine they gave but other than that I'm banded and I'm still alive so life is pretty damn good!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
