All Alone On My Big Day



Recommended Posts

Wow after reading a post here, I remembered that my DH took me to the hospital and left to go to work after my surgery and I really didn't have any visitors until my daughter picked me up after the second night. I had a lot of fun with my morphine pump, slept and didn't miss anyone. It was so nice to be left alone. :) Gosh how lucky was i....?

You can do this! You have everyone's support on this forum. I use this as my support system, because I chose not to tell anyone but my hubby. Look thru this site as you go through the different phases. Use the search feature and look up things as you are going thru it; like depression, regrets, and other scary feelings you go thru at first. This will help you see that it is normal. Then when you realize that these are normal feelings and will pass you feel better. Hang in there we are all here for you!!!

Sometimes we have to do things alone and in the end our families who didn't stand by us are the ones who are going to have the biggest regrets. You are so strong to continuing this journey and this is one small step. Ask your hospital if they have a support group. I know the one I went to has this program called visiting angels where other wls patients mentor others. It sucks when we don't have our families backs, but it's their loss not ours. I hope that you have a speedy recovery and everything goes well.

      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.
