Surgery date February 19th! OMG! Happy and scared



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I am nervous,excited,scared, optimistic,hopeful and everything in between.Two Georgia natives whom i communicate with were sleeved on the Feb.12th and i missed that boat.They had a good experience and said i'll be in good hands.I so badly want to be slimmer.i've been reading all the sucesss stories and i want to be successful.One of my biggest fears is ongoing nausea and vomitting that some sleevers experience.I have been praying and asking God to give me a sign if i shouldnt proceed, and everything has been smooth sailing.I'm so looking forward to being able to have a steady weight at some point, and not gaining weight weekly with every bite of food.Thanks to everyone on the board for all your inspiring stories and motivation and mostly your support.

MellaElla, we're all scooting over for on the loser's bench. It really is a wonderful place to be, and living life for the first time.

I'll be keeping you in my prayers and thoughts for an uneventful surgery, and smooth recovery. If you need anything, we're here for you. Stay strong, and lean on us and your faith.

What she said! You'll be fine, and if there is nausea, they've got stuff for that. Four more days for you, how exciting!

Congrats on your up coming surgery. I had mine three weeks ago today

and did not have any problems other than the day after surgery. They gave

me meds so I never got sick just felt like I was going to a couple of times.

Keys Pirate had hers the same day and she did have some problems with

sickness due to the meds used during surgery. If you are worried I would ask

your Doctor ahead of time to give you the preventive meds to ease your mind.

I hope everything goes great for you, I know you will love being on the loser's

bench. My thoughts and prayers will be with you on Friday.

MellaElla, we're two days apart! We're going to be comparing notes for the next year, celebrating all of the victories along the way. There are several of us all being Sleeved this week.

Good luck!!

      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.
