Non-slip bedroom slippers for those walks after surgery! Chapstick, a heating pad, maybe some unflavored Protein Powder.< /p>

Walmart has some cute maxi dresses. Not pricey at all. I bought one size smaller than normal and I'm getting more use out of them.

I will check there!

Don't forget to check out local thrift stores that's where I got my pjs for surgery, paid only a few bucks so I don't mind donating them now that they're too big

Hi! I hope you don't mind my question about the whole pajama thing.

I have pajama bottoms, but really not wanting to stain them or destroy them from any Post-op draining, etc

since you were saying that you went to the thrift store I thought that was such a clever idea.

Does everyone recommend doing PJ bottoms and a raggedy Tshirt??

or do you recommend the MuMu style pajamas?

      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.
