IM SCARED ...HAVING LAST MINUTE BAD THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT CAN GO WRONG DURING SURGERY :’(



Recommended Posts

Thank you for posting this topic and for all the feedback. I'm scheduled for the 28th and had been very confident in my decision - until I read about the man who passed. I'm still doing all the research and I know it's something I have to do, it's just scary.

I just want to say that, I pray for all of us going into this surgery, that we have a safe problem free, successful surgery and that the pain is on the low scale. I also pray that the people before us and WE have a much healthier life, a better quality life, a happier life and we look reallll good at the same time :) prayers to everyone

My surgery is tomorrow at 3:00pm. I am surprisingly calm as I know this is the best thing for me. I know personally know 12 people that have had this surgery (one with the Rouen Y) only one had any complications and they were minor! They all say WALK....especially find the will to walk once you are home. We can do this!!!!

      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.
