31 hours and counting til my sleeve



Recommended Posts

I am almost there!! Gathering my things tonight....checking in at the hotel tomorrow and will drink the magnesium citrate for pre-op.....and will report to the surgery center at 6am on Monday morning. WOOHOO!!

Still not the least bit nervous, either!! I prayed for peace and that is what I still am feeling. Now I am praying for a smooth and uneventful surgery, and a quick recovery.

Now, lets see if I can sleep!! :001_rolleyes:

Hey kalex. I'm a day behind you and not feeling so calm. But I do at least feel like I'm about to take this bull by the horns and really do something about my weight problem once and for all. That's the most peace I can say I have for right now.

Best wishes to you for an uneventful surgery. Enjoy that yummy mag citrate. :001_rolleyes: We'll be on the other side soon!

      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.
