Bag For Hospital All Packed - Ready For Monday 10Th At 7:30Am Cst



Recommended Posts

so - i was getting really bored last night so i went ahead and packed my hospital bag. Had my pre-op visit with the hospital on the phone yesterday and answered their 100 questions so that's done. Now the anxiety stage sets in for the weekend.....will find plenty of stuff to do to keep me busy and my daughter and granddaughter are driving up so I will get to play with her over the weekend and that should keep me busy!!

So ready to get this new 'me' started and can't wait to throw away all my yucky size 16's away.....maybe I'll bring them to south texas over the holiday's and have a bonfire!!!

Congrats to everyone who's on their way and good luck to all those who are going under the 'knife' next week!! I'm sure we will all be rocking our sleeves in no time!!

Good luck to you Kadie- may your surgery go perfectly and you have a speedy recovery! Be sure to check out the topic, "what to bring to the hospital". I've started a checklist and there were a few things I never would have thought of (chapstick- lips get chapped, sugar free throat lozengers-sore throat from anesthesia- you get the idea!) The best was a small pillow (or stuffed animal) to press on stomach when coughing, etc. for the 1st few days. I love the "no makeup" comments- but I always need a liitle foundation and lipstick to feel human. Looking forward to seeing how you're doing post-op- be sure to post!

      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.
