I was the same way. Everyone's Pains I notice are slightly different. I am day 3 post op and am not having any complications. Just dealing w pain and swelling. I had some really painful swelling and tightness in my chest but was given meds and it subsided within minutes. So everything is going to be alright. Nervousness and excited come w the deal lol

Be optimistic, happy and go into the surgery with a big smile on your face. It's okay to be nervous, but for my family I acted calm, cool & collected and hummed all the way into the surgery. It did me well. Sometimes the world is indeed a stage and we are merely players....assuring my family I would be fine and being positive and being brave made me positive and brave. Attitude is 1/2 the battle.

Best of luck to you.

It's normal to be nervous. I don't think you'd be human if you weren't at least a little nervous. Best of luck to you and we'll be waiting to hear how you're doing. My surgery is Wednesday. Right now I'm more excited than nervous but I'm sure come Tuesday that will change.

Nervous too.....impatient for tomorrow. I'm ready for the next step. Never had major surgery so the anesthesia will be new for me.

      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.
