Anxiety is kicking in



Recommended Posts

I'm at the hospital signing consent forms, and thoughts are just going through my head 100 mph.

Blood pressure was 150/98, the highest I have ever seen it

Exciting stuff, right!?

I can ascertain from your previous posts that you are a highly spiritual person - perhaps you can find some peace of mind and calmness through your faith.

Hang in there!

I feel so much better after praying, and reading the entire in full. I've never had surgery and I've gained a lot of information through this site, thanks

I had never had surgery before - or ever been in the hospital for that matter!

But it actually wasn't bad at all - it was like time travel!! One minute you're relaxing on a table, the next you're waking up and someone's shaved your damn belly!

You guys will do great - be excited, you are taking control!!

Hahah well if that's the worse thing we have to deal with is a shaved belly then I can deal with that. I guess I could just beat them to the punch and do it ahead of time. Thats the good thing about the drugs they give you to put u out. Makes everything go by quick

Seriously that was the worst part for me - super itchy!

Don't shave it yourself though, they prefer to do it so that it's the proper length (they don't shave it smooth because they don't want ingrown hairs, cuts or infections around the incisions).

They could have at least continued to trim further south, just so things would be more proportionate though! Oh well, at least NOW I can see down south and do it myself!! B)

Yea I am sure that it was itchy. I guess your right I better leave it to the professionals. So I don't do something they don't like.

I am sure that is a plus being able to see down south and not like cutting off your airway to try and trim things up hahaha.

      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.

      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.
