Remember the pain on the day of surgery will be bad. I had a terrible burning sensation in my stomcach. Just remember each day gets drastically better than the last. Sounds like you are ready. Good luck!

Haha, no - simply sleep is what is in Tylenol PM but minus the Tylenol. It is not an all natural thing. I am a born insomniac but usually rely on different methods to put myself to sleep. I am hungry now though and it is so distracting that I am having a tougher time sleeping.

What I usually do - no bright lights, tv, or computer 1 hour before bed. I read myself down to sleep and can usually drift off fine. It just isn't working this week.

Good luck! IT isnt all that bad. To be honest, I am finding the hungry part now worse than any part during post-op! To deal with that...maybe a 24 hour massage therapist, personal hypnotist, male strippers...

newmom - try some liquid benadryl for a few nights -- I've never had insomnia, but I did after surgery -- the liquid benadryl really worked wonders -- I took it for 3 days only and after that was able to sleep on my own.

      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. 🤞
