hello everyone.

well, my surgery is scheduled for 11:30 this morning. i have to be at the hospital at 9am. i slept pretty good last night. i am very surprised. i had a really rouggh time with being on clears only so i opted to go to bed early.

i am going to take my daughter to school this morning and the i am headed to hospital. not really nervous or scared any more. that other thread really helped me. i am now just anxious and excited. i cant wait to be on the other side of this operation.

please keep my daughter and i in your prayers. i will update as soon as my eyes can focus!

hello eveyone! evweryrhing went as planned except having to wait a few hours past my scheduled surgery time to go under the knife. that was probably ablessinh in disguise because by the time my turn ame up, i was angry and annoyed that i could spit fire.

the only thing i remember is the anesthesiologist telling me to take some deep breaths and the next i was waking up in pain. surgery went well. i has an upper gi series testerday mirnin and theb was put on clears. i ahvent really gotten much down. i am being disrchaged today. cant wait to be relaxing at home!

      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.
