The car is packed and we are on the road. My surgery is in Bridgeton MO. I am scheduled for 10:30 AM and hopefully there are no delays. I am excited to finally be at this point. My starting weight in Jan was 373 and today I am at 343.

I slept a lot after the surgery. I wasn't in pain, but very tender. They gave me an ice pack and that really did help. I started on Water and broth almost immediate. I got a pop sickle and fell in love! I never had it while on my pre-op diet. I have been up and walking and I felt normal. When I first woke up and was sore I thought "what did I freakin do??", but I am far from that point now!

Khard4ou, you will be in my prayers! After that first few hours you will be good to go! I am getting ready to walk again. They did continue the pain meds for comfort and kinda glad because I was able to sleep. I never can when in the hospital.

      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.
