Im getting butterflies in my stomach...What about you? Yes, he said I will have it for 24 hours and it goes through your nose down into your stomach to drain all fluids for nausea and so you do not wake up from surgery dry heaving or vomiting from anesthesia. :( I have heard they are uncomfortable.......But I am excited. How long has your pre-op diet been? Mine has been for 5 days!

Well I got sick with the flu Saturday and Sunday so Monday was actually day 3 for me which should have been day 1 for a 3 day per-op diet, but it has not been that bad until I put my twin babies to bed and I just want to eat LOL

You are going to do great. My surgery is pn June 10th, I saw my surgeon today and I'm scared of the unknown. When I got there my pulse was at 120 I was so nervous. But he made me feel so at ease and he also told me the surgery will only be about an hour long. And he answered all of my questions. I feel so much better.

jus scared of the pain after

Just know that there will be pain. But there will also be good pain meds. It's nothing that you can't handle.

The worst part for me was before surgery in pre-op. I was having an anxiety attack and they couldn't get an IV going. My pre-surgery liquid diet had left me dehydrated and veins collapsing.

      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.
