It's June 4th!! They asked if I wanted to to may 21st but I'm not prepared to have surgery next Monday. I need to prepare mentally for this. I have been doing just that for the last 6 months, but to me next Monday just seemed to close and I haven't prepared myself that fast. I'm ok and excited for June 4th!!

You should've taken the appointment in May. That way you'd be ready for any 4th. of July BBQ's. Just joking. LOL. Best of luck to you. You're on your way!

I'm hoping to get an appointment as early as possible (within the next month or so?). When I go home too Hawaii & visit all my old police buddies, they're going to be shocked! I'll say an extra prayer for you on June 4th. You'll do just fine.

I thought about it, but the thing is that I'm taking 2 weeks off work and using vacation and we make our schedules 3 weeks in advance so there was really no way for me to do next week. Plus I really need to prepare myself it is an emotional and life long thing.. :)

Furby036, don't think about the pain & such. That only puts negative vibes into your system. Be positive and think if all the great things that lay in front of you: shopping for new clothes, and what girl doesn't want t go shopping for new clothes?

Say a prayer & ask the good Lord to help you through this. He will.

Yay for you! YOU need to be ready, so glad you thought it through! :) Some of us have been ready for awhile and we are having to wait! July 3rd is my date - hopefully it will be here before I know it. Good luck June 4th!

There are meds for the pain and nausea. It was minimal for me and I am the biggest baby. Focus your energy in other areas of preparation. I made a list of things I wanted to do for ME, before surgery. It was a helpful process....no regrets!

Congrats on your date! I too took a later date than initially and I have no regrets. You did what was best for YOU. And my pain was very minimal. Sore, yes. And I had no nausea at all. The meds are so good you don't have to be in pain at all. Just push that button, it was my best friend. Another thing that helped me in the hospital was a heating pad.

      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.
