My surgery is Sept. 19th also. I can't believe its a week away. I feel excited and nervous at the same time. I am on 2 meal replacements a day and have to have clear liquid the day before.

Yay!! Congratulations! I stayed my liquid diet today and I feel nauseous. Hopefully, you have better pre op results!

hi I am now 4 days post op. Its been a bumpy road. The sleeve its self went well but I had a hernia also. I stayed longer in the hospital because of a fever. Now that i'm home, I am starting to feel better day by day. Its only going to get better from here. I hope everyone else is doing well.

Welcome to the group. Surgery is always a little scary and for this one I was petrified because you don't really know what to expect with YOUR body and you worry about all that can go wrong and if you are going to succeed. You ponder about all the changes that are to come.. Let me tell you I had some complications with my surgery and you know what.. I would do it all again in a heart beat! The hospital I was in took excellent care of me and they were so friendly and caring!

You are going to do great and feel awesome!

Sleeved on September 23 and down 25 pounds. I have had several long stalls and it is so frustrating! I read success stories where sleevers lose 30 pounds a month and I wonder what I am doing wrong!

I am having the same issue. But I believe my issue is not getting enough Protein in. So my body goes into starvation mode.

      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.

      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.
