And iam warry about it-Plz any quick advise

welcome to the group Sami2211

sounds like you are having surgery in 2 days, is that correct? if this is the case - your feelings are normal and understandable - everyone gets nervous before surgery -

take a bunch of deep breathes

don't know if you've ever had surgery before - people are usually most concerned about the anesthesia - its easy to say things will be fine - but i truly believe they will be

sounds like you are pre-op, so try not to be nervous, easier said than done - and when you come home - drink all that Water - you don't want to get dehydrated, rest - but walk too

i hope you have a nutritionist who can help you with what to eat, especially this early in the game

look ahead at the wonderful journey you are starting with the sleeve - your health and happiness will improve

glad you found this board

take care,

write back with more details and more questions - someone is usually here with information to help you

good luck

Sami, it's normal to be worried. The percentage of complications is so small. The percentage of complications due to obesity are great. I for one actually freak out in the pre-op suite, right before they wheel me in. My heart races i become nauseous ans sweaty. I have learned to ask for a valium from the anesthesiologist to keep from running away.

I am also pre-op my date is 9/19/2012. I am not nervous because I know all will be ok. I am more afraid of the obesity and it's complications if I don't have the sleeve done. I have prayed, and prayed some more and I am cool calm and collected and at peace with my decision. Good luck to you.

New me, new you... blessings

I am currently 10 days post op. My best advice would be to just WALK as much as possible and stay hydrated. That helped me so much. I feel like I have had a fairly quick recovery. Now I am just trying to get used to my new stomach. I am assuming that today is your surgery date as this was posted 2 days. Best of luck to you :) See you on the flip side.

Sami, it will get better.

The first days are hard but walking helps the pain in your chest.

Take some pain medicine and try to walk with someone helping you.

Congratulations.

You will feel better in about 3 to 4 days!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
