I am going in for my band tomorrow at at 8 am. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:omg: .

I am so nervous, and excited. I am of course nervous for the possibility of death:eek: . More so scared about the pain of recovery :sick . Truth be told I can't believe this day has come. I have been on this board for a long time and learned so much from everyone. I truly am shocked it is time:faint: . I have no idea how I am going to handle all of this. As the time draws closer all I think about is change. I know great changes will come but I am scared. Love you all and wish me luck. I will take anything prayers, chants, rain dance, white light, traffic lights, anything. Thanks all. hugs ;)

Good luck, hon. MsJoy says that her post op pain, on a scale of 1 to 10 was about a 1.5. She never even opened her bottle of pain medicine. Just follow the doctor's instructions to the tee and heal. Don't worry about losing right now. Well....you know all the right things to do, so do them.

You'll do fabulous and then in a couple of weeks you can tell me what to expect. Just take it easy and don't try to over do anything. This is your healing time, so take it.

You'll be in my prayers and let us know how your feeling when you can.

You say your more scared about pain & recovery. That is great b/c I bet you have very little or none at all. You're probably all done right now & talking up a storm saying " wow that was great & I feel a little worn for wear but not bad at all. Did they really do anything to me? Am I really banded?"

Hope your up & about quickly- walk walk walk walk & yeah by the way WALK!! CONGRATS!!!!

I agree - in a couple of weeks, you'll can tell me what to expect, too. I'm 28 days pre-op. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow morning. I'm sure it will be just fine. Sending prayers and hugs.

      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.

      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.
