The Night Before...



Recommended Posts

How did u feel mentally? Scared? Did anyone chicken out at the last minute? Any family talks just in case? Tomorrow is my day.

Very ready and very prepared. I was ready for the Loser's Bench. Ready to get rid of years of yo-yo dieting. It's the best thing I've done for myself and I knew it before my surgery. As far as complications, I had faith God would finish what He started. Get a good night sleep and keep us posted.

My day is tomorrow as well. I'm not nervous- just very anxious! I'm READY!

Of course it's only natural to feel anxious the night before. I was pretty nervous too. If I recall, I even had little visions of chickening out at the last minute and running out of the OR with my Buns sticking out my gown. Breathe. You are well prepared for this. You've jumped through all the hoops and you will be fine. I remember even being scared to take my laxative for my pre-op diet. I'm now 6 weeks out and down almost 25 pounds. No regrets. Breathe and step into the best years of your life.

Get ready for the ride of your life. I was nervous as a cat. I couldn't wait!!! I was up until almost midnight and had to be there at 5 AM!!! It's been a blast, be prepared, tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life!!! :D

      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.
