Congratulations!!! Are you having your surgery in the States? I don't know what you should bring if you are going out of the country? I brought slippers, a robe, chapstick, large panties (you are so swollen afterwards), a bra that did not have underwire, and a comfortable outfit to wear home.

I am pretty sure others will give you some other suggestions just in case I forgot something.

You will do fine tomorrow. They kept telling me but I didn't hear them because I was so scared...but being on the other side...the sleeved side is wonderful!!!!!

Something else you might like to pack is a heating pad. I found it very soothing on both my tummy and back throughout the process. Good luck!

Kind of scared but ready to go!!!! What should I bring with?

Hey girl,

I was thinking about you this morning. Good luck! Dr. Jay will take very good care of you. Make sure you have a small pillow to help you get up & down. Jodie, the nurse, will take excellent care of you for your overnight stay. She is the best nurse ever.

I can't wait to hear how things go!! Good luck & I'll be praying for you. See you on the loser side!! :001_rolleyes:

Motherof4 - I hope your surgery went well today. I am thinking of trying Dr. Jay. My appointment with the surgeon here is on Friday, but I am not sure how many sleeve surgeries he has done. I know he has done thousands of RNYs because everyone I know went to him.

Do you know how many VSGs Dr. Jay has done?

      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.
