Just got done with last minute preparations - finished packing, epi-ladied my legs lol, last minute laundry,etc.

I usually like to come home to a nice clean house when I travel, but hubby & kids will be here all week so I'll be lucky if it's still standing when I get home, geesh.

Just called my doctor and got my surgery time 11:30am...I'm happy, nervous, excited, scared, afraid but somehow I'm at peace with my decision and I know God will make a way for to come out of this surgery successfully.

On lighter note my grandmother called and asked if I wanted to go out to Breakfast with her today. I was like I can't. She then said ok after your surgery we can go. I was like Grandma I won't be able to eat out for quite sometime and I explained the ins and outs to her and now wants to do the liquid diet thing with me to get a good cleaning out she says.......leave it to people to equate this to a good bm......

My surgery is Thursday, May 17. Won't know the time till between 6:00 & 8:00 pm Wednesday night. I am a little nervous, but comfortable with this decision. I've lost 51 pounds in preparation for this, in hopes it would make the surgery go easier. Also makes the pre-op diet easier as its kind of close to what I've been eating for several months. Good luck to all my fellow may sleevers. Looking forward to heari.g of everyones progress. I so appreciate all the support from everyone hear.

I had my surgery today. It was supposed to be at 3:30 PM, but the hospital called to have me come in early, so it was actually around 1 PM instead. I was out of recovery & in a room by 5 PM. I've been for one walk around the hall & plan on doing another walk soon to try to wake up my bladder more because the only downfall is that I haven't been able to pee yet! Other than that, though, I'm doing well. I'm glad I have pain medicine, but with the medicine the pain is bearable and not too bad.

      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.
