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.

        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.

      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
