I feel your pain I am also on Monday. I was doing great until today and the nerves are starting to hit. I am sure we will both be fine. I am having a revision from the band to sleeve. Good luck!

Good luck to both of you. Try to relax, it's nerve wracking but you've worked long and hard to get to this point. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I'm having my surgery on Monday too! I normally get really, really scared and anxious before surgeries, but I don't feel that way yet. I hope you guys can get a good nights sleep and a quick recovery!!!

Good luck to all of you!! I know you will do great. These feelings are very. Normal. I was sleeved 4-23. I was fine until I got to the pre op room and saw the nurses waiting for me. Tears started flowing. The said to me - you are in good hands and keep your eye on the prize - They were so right. 20 lbs down since the pre op diet. I fit in a pair if jeans yesterday that I haven't been able to fit into for 6 years. I won't lie and tell you it's easy. The first week after surgery was a roller coaster. Your emotions will go from - I miss food to what have I done. Just remember those feelings will pass within a day or two. Prayers to all of you!!!!!

I am Monday as well since yesterday I have been so nervous that I am spending most of the time in the bathroom. It's 8;30 Sunday morning and I don't want to get out of bed. Just want to sleep this day away. This time tomorrow I'll be prepping for surgery. Yay

      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.
