my surgery is at 8:00 am but I have to be there at 6:00 am...don't think I will sleep much at all either Sunday night...did shopping today for my post-op needs..have y'all done that already? what did you buy? what is your plan for tomorrow? I can eat a light Breakfast before 10:00 tomorrow morning' date=' then Clear liquids the rest of the day with nothing at all after midnight

tonight was my niece's birthday, and I went out to eat with the family...it was my last real meal pre-op...we went to Carrabba's, and I had Sicilian chicken Soup , some bread, chicken parmesan with angel hair Pasta, and one spoon/taste of my niece's ice cream dessert...I think that was a fitting "last" meal--good food and with my family[/quote']

Ahh Carrabba's sounds so good!! I went out to dinner last night for my daughters birthday. I played it kinda safe and had a salad :/ Now I wish I had eaten something tastier ;)

I have to be there at 7:00 but probably wont get into the o.r. until 10:00 ish. I bought gas x strips.. chapstick.. facial cleansing white..baby wipes..and then I will bring my toothbrush and hairbrush. I cant think of anything else. I plan to just rest..maybe watch t.v. Idk what to expect. I finally told my parents and they were very happy for me so I am going in tomorrow feeling more excited and positive than I imagined :) I will post as soon as I am in recovery stage. Take care and good luck!!

Hi

I am new to this forum, I just found you guys, happy! I am from Sweden and I will have my sleeve on May 21. I am of course very nervous and just a little bit shy from panic. So, here are some questions. The Sleeve has not been done for more than a few years here and I would like to know what long term consequences it has? Does anyone know?

Hi, Eva. Sorry I am not able to answer your question, since I haven't done a whole lot of research long-term outlook...for me, this surgery is sort of my last resort, and I feel much more certain of what my long-term consequences would likely be if I don't get my weight and diabetes under control

my surgery is tomorrow morning, and I am very nervous right now...I think all I still need to do is pack a few things for the overnight hospital stay...my fellow May 6 sleevers: how are y'all doing?

My survey's tomorrow afternoon. I feel like I'm going crazy, I hate waiting. I'm only halfway packed, I'll be in Mexico until Friday. I can't wait to eat something, today is day 3 of Clear Liquids. Best of luck to all the 6ers!! We're almost there.

      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.
