July 8th!! I can't believe it is here. We are cleaning and cleaning and cleaning the house for a sterile arrival back home! Trying to forget that ill be sleeved by now tomorrow! If I think abiut it too long I might cry. Scared and excited! I worry abiut my girls so much. I know the chances of me dying are slim but they are there. I know my chances of dying witjout the surgery are absolute. I almost died after having my eight year old. I developed congestive heart failure. The thought of her without a mommy was traumatic. My second daughter is adopted from China. I just love them so much and hate to put my life at risk. But in this case it is necessary. Much prayers for all going under tomorrow!

Just think, what a wonderful gift you are giving them both in a new, healthier mommy! I am so excited that I'm sitting here in awe looking at my suitcase after I started this process a long 8 months ago. It's finally here! Wow....

cleaning the house for a sterile arrival back home

hopingtolose2013

sterile arrival.???.........are you bringing a baby home??? ;)

kindof i guess...........

a new little baby tummy ;)

as far as you having feelings/fear of death???

you would have to stay inside 24/7 to make sure nothing happened to you "out there" ^_^

all surgeries have complications :angry:

things should/hopefully go without a hitch during and after WLS

"from my lips to Gods ears!!!"

you'll be holding and loving those girls very soon

as OP said - the kids and you will be so much happier, that you have regained your health, and are able to be with them in better health

good luck to you tomorrow

don't be too nervous during surgery

suggestion: how about closing your pretty eyes and taking a nap while the docs do their thing!! :lol:

speedy recovery

you are on your way to a healthier, happier, longer life with the sleeve!!!!

      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.
