It's the first day of our new lives! Of course we're all anxious worry stress warts... but the sooner we get it over with we can get back to being US AGAIN! If you bail, you'll always wish you'd taken the opportunity. I wish I'd done this YEARS ago!

I guess some people are just making me so nervous some complication is going to happen. I've researched my doctor and know exactly what diet and weight I'm not supposed to lift for how long after surgery so I feel confident in this... But just butterflies. I'm trusting in God and putting all my faith in Him like I've done through this journey so far. I know this is the right decision for me.

Nervous is normal honey. I did have a leak and as far as complications go I'll tell you this, the risk is low but there's still a risk, and a leak is a nightmare. Here's what you do: post op, DON'T hesitate for a SECOND to call your surgeon or go to the ER if you feel something's wrong. A leak sucks, but as long as you pay attention to the signs your body gives you, you'll catch it fat enough. I had a very uncomfortable month but I'm here and alive. :)

Just remember how small the chance is! I happen to have terrible luck lol and as long as you do what you're instructed to after surgery you should be fine. Good luck!

I'm so glad I found this forum to help me continue with my surgery. You're stories and progress keeps me motivated. I'm at 218 with weight goal of 150 or maybe more.

Congrats

Lizv, can I ask was there anything you didn't follow that pulled on staples or anything? Did they do a leak test at hospital? Also US or Mexico?

You know..., I decided not to tell barely ANYONE because when I first started research EVERYONE told me horrible things with NO basis behind it or valid info. I decided I was just going to make my decision as an adult & not hurt/stress my Mom & Dad as they both have health conditions. It's SOOOO hard but that's why I have this blog now & like 4 good friends to talk to. God put this opportunity in my lap, I didn't go looking for it. So I'm also trusting in Him. ;-)

      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.
