When you here that surgery date it's like reality kicks in. This is real and it's really going to happen. I'm both super excited and super nervous all in one.

Oh you will become my new bestie!

I am sure you know lots of answers to our question post op.

PS my not so secret dream is to be hired by my surgeon as his new NP. He doesn't have one so i spend all my time telling him how useful we can be!

I'm getting really nervous now. Like I'm in line for a scary roller coaster ride. But this time I can't just close my eyes tight and wish it to be over quickly. I have to walk right through with my eyes open and try to be a brave person. I had such a horrible time with the band and here I go again. But I know it's the right thing to do.

Well it's official, I have caught a cold before surger, fever, sore throat, cough the whole nine yards!. At least I have couple weeks to kick it in the butt and take some much needed nyQuil (I have a secret stockpile of the good stuff before they changed their formula). Downside is using more sick days before my actual surgery, but my boss is very understanding.

My intentions were to be very healthy and eat lots of green things that I will have to avoid for the first few months after surgery. What can I say, I'm weird I actually like kale and beets and spinach, but I also like French fries and nuggets! Right now I am beta testing my post op routine since I am sickie poo (tea with honey, Soup, sleeping).

Wish me fast recovery so I can eat my damn salads and some last hurrah meals too!

      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.
