Thanks. That's good to know. My husband is going with us. That' date='would be a bit unnerving. Yea I worry about the connecting flight too. I don't want to get a wheel chair either. I have fibromyalgia and when I flare up bad I work hard at not walking like I'm in pain. Lol. I try to add a little arm swag to make it look like I'm just strutin my stuff. Haha. So no wheel chair for me. How haventhe gas pains been? That seems to be the worst complaint.[/quote']

I really think since you already deal with pain and have a good attitude unless you have complications (which are rare from what I hear) you will do good. The pain is very manageable. I really did not have much gas pain. I also felt like following the strict pre op diet helped a lot. I lost 12 lbs before surgery. I didn't end up taking all my pain meds they gave us. I did take them the day I was traveling because I was afraid of exerting myself and thought I might over do it. I have not taken any since then. I'm glad your husband is going. I wish mine could've but it was fine.

The Marriott was great. They were very friendly and attentive. They even called my room a couple of times to see if I needed anything. Make sure to take small bills for tipping. Are you staying in the Marriott?

      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. 🤞
