36 hours from now I'll be waking up and getting ready to head into surgery. I check in Tuesday at 7, and under the knife at 8. Nervous but excited!! Ready to get this over with.

I had some tightness at a couple of the incision sites and it took a couple nights before I could sleep comfortably on my left side. I'm not sure which incision they took my stomach out of. the nurse told me one thing but that can't be right because that spot is one of the smaller lines. The two closest to my belly button are healing slower.

Got out of surgery at 11:30 this am. At first ALOT of pain and nausea, but due to a VERY attentive nurse I had a pain pump and nausea meds, feeling much better now. Just tired, (didn't sleep at all last night).

Well, normal is based on the situation - and since we're all in the same boat, you're probably the most normal of the normalest! :) I'm overly OBSESSED with it :)

I was the same way, probably drove my sis absolutely nuts (short drive, lol!) if it annoyed her, she never let it show

      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
