June 25th Sleevers? I need a buddy...



Recommended Posts

My appointment was this morning...I had to leave a urine sample, they took some blood, checked my blood pressure. They also went over instructions as to what meds I could take the morning of the surgery...when to stop eating/drinking the night before...etc. Some people talk to the anesthesia department at this appointment...I will talk to them the morning of surgery. Hope that helps and makes you feel more comfortable.

I am the 25th too and a revision. The last week has been a roller coaster of emotions. Tomorrow I should find out for good if I am cleared for surgery so I haven't really prepared anything yet. I don't want to buy the post surgery foods/meal replacements until I know. Plus I need an unwired bra for the hospital. It makes it so much more comfortable after surgery.

Does everyone have all of their stuff ready?

Not yet :( but I have started putting things aside. Can u wear ur sports bra during surgery?? I kno dumb question right??? But it's gonna b so painful to put it on right after...eeek???? My surgeon said he normally makes 4 incision close to and right above the navel cuz I'm also concerned bout my bra situation. Im either thinking 18 hour or sports bra???

Not a dumb question ...but you will be in your birthday suit with a gown they will take off during surgery. I had the lap band surgery before and I got a bra that hooked in the front so it didn't hurt that bad to put on. But definitely not an underwire lol

Time does seem like it has stopped. I am sooo ready for it to be next week, however, on the other hand, I find myself getting exceedingly nervous. Like...have I made the right decision...will I back out at the last minute...can I really do this? I think it is just the realization that the surgery is finally really here on top of the whole pre-op liquids that is causing me to feel this way.

June 25th for me as well! I'm in Boston. But unlike a lot of people here I didn't have to do a liquid diet pre-surgery... Is that abnormal???

      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.
