I still have a little over a week to go but am pretty calm. If you are like me you did a

lot of research and have given it a lot of thought and are confident in your decision so I

hope I am like you and am not to nervous.

I was calm until I was on the way to the hospital. I wanted a sedative in the car.

I was sleeved on Nov 12 and I was so calm. I wasn't the slightest bit nervous/scared/anxious. I got one little butterfly of excitement when the surgery team walked into my room to roll me to surgery. My mom and MIL were balls of nerves. I gave everyone a hug and kiss before we left for the OR (mom, MIL, husband, uncle, cousin and niece). They all left the room so the team could navigate the stretcher out to the hall and when we got out of the room, my mom was crying a little. She paid for my surgery and I leaned up to hug and kiss her again and told her thank you for my new life. She really started to cry then and I teared up a little. I was laughing and joking all the way to the OR. That is the last thing I remember!!!

I'm tomorrow morning as well..7:30 AM. I was nervous earlier today until I had to take the kids to my in laws to watch for the next few days. Since I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am, figured it was better to just have them stay there starting tonight so they don't have to get up so early. Now, I'm just sad and missing them. Once I wake up in the morning I'm sure all the anxiety will start hitting again. Good luck tomorrow! We're going to do great!

      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.
