I Just Can't Wait To.....



Recommended Posts

I am pre-op and will finally be sleeved Dec 17. It seems like it'll take forever for the day to arrive. Im sitting at the airport and thinking about all the things I can't wait to do. And being able to comfortably sit in a seat during a flight is one of the things I can't wait to do. Feeling like everyone is looking in my direction hoping I won't sit next to them as I walk down the plane is one of the worst feelings. What are some things you pre-opers or newly sleeved folks can't wait to do?

I can't wait to cross my legs without having to grab my ankle and try to glue it to my knee. Also can't wait to go shopping and find something where either 1) they have plenty in my size or 2) alll the sizes are too big for me. :lol:

I can't wait to wear smaller dresses and a nice pair of high heels. I also can't wait to be able to skydive! I just want to feel lighter and have the energy to be more active in general. My surgery is in less than one month and I am very excited. But I can't help feeling a little nervous also. :)

In addition to smaller sizes, actually finding clothes that FIT, looking better, etc, this morning I actually thought of something so simple it made my husband laugh... I seriously can not wait to use a regular size TOWEL.... of all things... Right now I either make do with the regular one or I use a beach towel!

I buy BEACH towels to use around the house because they are large enough for me. I hadn't even thought of the JOY of using just a regular sized bath towel.. My goodness...lol...

      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.
