This is it guys! I have to be at the hospital in about 6 hours. I'm laying in my bed now trying to sleep but I'm far too anxious- combination of excitement and fear. Wish me luck all! Can't wait to be on the losers bench!

Thank you all! I was able to get a bit of sleep- fell into a deep sleep and when my alarm went off I almost didn't want to get up until I remembered what today was lol. Up now about to take a shower with the antibacterial soap the hospital gave me. I'll check in when I can! Thanks SO much everyone for the support!!

Just want to let everyone know I'm okay! I didn't have wifi at the hospital and my Internet connection wasn't good so I had to wait until I got home. The first two days were rough I'm not gonna lie. I was prepared for it but it still threw me for a bit of a loop. The pain was bad but the nauseous made it worse. Today was a LOT better. No nausea! So I was finally able to start eating and they saw I was okay to go home. The pain is still there but it's just very sore. There's a big dent and that's the most painful spot. The other ones are just tender. I know in a few more days ill be a lot better. That morphing pump was my BFF for a while lol. I was sad when they cut me off. Put me on Tylenol with codine now. I'm not hungry but I think there's trapped air in my sleeve because I keep feeling it contact and it hurts for a second and feel like I need to burp? It's going to take some getting used to lol.

Thank you all who showed me support, encouragement, messaged me- it means so much to me! Wanted to check and and let everyone know I'm ok!

      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
