Help, Emotional Issues Right Before My Surgery Date!



Recommended Posts

Hello everybody, I can´t believe everything that´s happening to be before the surgery date in a week from today. My boyfriend has been helping me pay for the surgery for months now and I can´t believe we broke up a WEEK before the surgery... I think I am nervous about it that I am extra sensitive, I don´t know but I need someone to tell me that everything´s is going to be AMAZING because I have been waiting for this moment for a LONG time and I can´t believe I am facing this breakup plus surgery without him, he was like a husband to me. Anyways; I should be okay I am just shocked! I am getting my surgery on Sept 4 in México and have everything ready, expect his support....

This is going to be amazing for you! you will recapture the skinny you and be so much happier. Sorry to hear your boyfriend bailed on you. It will work out one way or another. This is a good time to focus on you, changing your eating habits to more healthier eating habits, and healing. :)

Oh man, that stinks, good luck with things. I am only two weeks out, but glad I had the surgery, I am in a stall right now and still happy. I did it for me. I know it will be hard on your own, but focus on yourself for a while. Make yourself happy and healthy.

I don't know why he left, maybe he was affraid. I know some poeple seem to be jelous and upset thinking I will loose weight, that I will no longer be 'the fat one'. They don't come out and say it, but that is what it feels like. Good luck. Make yourself your priority!

So sorry you are going through the break-up! Hold your head up, be strong and stay encouraged on your trip to get your sleeve... It will be amazing and you are strong enough to do this... You deserve it....DO IT FOR YOU. If it is meant for you to be with your boyfriend it will all work out but now you have to concentrate on you~

Praying for you and sending positive vibes your way

      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.
