I am getting so anxious/excited for surgery. I am starting my clear liquid diet a day early. I am still paranoid my liver won't be small enough.

Keep thinking of the day I can donate clothes and get the big sizes out of here. My husband flies in today from Ft Bliss so he can take care of me.

I am right there with you. My surgery is Thursday. I'm a basket case from crying to laughing to plan being silly. Best of luck I wish I was 2 days

I was so excited that I couldn't wait. Everyone asked if I was nervous and I never felt that way. The idea of someday having kids or riding crazy roller coasters or even buying a beautiful gown for my brother's wedding or being able to encourage others for the Lord all outweighed my fears....I am 2 weeks out of surgery and it's an adjustment but praise God it's been great!! Focus on the blessings this will bring to your life and look at the surgery date as your new birthday :)

I think I am freaking more because mine was so fast. I only just went to the doc April 23 and said yes that day I wanted to do it and had my surgery date for May 17 the next day. So I learned a lot fast. I really didn't have a long time to wait. No long diets just 8 days of 1000 calories and I'll have a liquid day Wednesday. So I am very blessed to be fast and no long waits. I'm glad it was quick. Only thing I freak about is did I learn everything?

My journey was kind of fast too. I thought about this off and on for 10 years and decided in February that I wanted it and here I am.

Tomorrow will be a long day and possibly emotional. My new life will be starting

      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.
