Surgery 4/17. So nervous...



Recommended Posts

Will be so glad to get the surgery done. It has been a long road with disappointments. Finally decided to cash pay. I just want to thank everyone for their stories. I have learned so much from you and feel better knowing what to expect.

Don't be nervous. I had my surgery on April 9 last Tuesday tomorrow will be 7 days post op. I was very nervous because I never had any type of surgery before and I didn't no what 2 expect. My surgeon was so Great!! I saw him the day b4 and he told me the hardest part was getting in the car and walking in the hospital. He was so correct. I waited for 5 1/2 hours past my surgery time, but the hospital staff treated me like a queen. I no it's scary but honestly u won't remember any after u get the anesthesia.

It's natural to be nervous. This is the best decision you will ever make and your life will never be the same (in a very good way). Remember to sip, sip, sip and walk everytime you think about it. Walking is truly the key to getting rid of the gas. Day 3 was the worst for me but nothing I couldn't handle. Congratulations!

      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.
