Evansville here had my surgery on 8/22

How are you doing? I hope well. But I will be glad to hear any and all experiences you have went through in the past week or so. I am still waiting for another month of couseling sessions and then hopefully getting the show on the road.

I am sure it is here on this forum somewhere, probably many times, but could someone or several tell what a normal day for them is post op, a few weeks out, like how is you day scheduled. I already take so many meds and insulin and testing blood sugars and breathing treatments, trying to have an idea what life will be like after. How do you get everything in that you need.. Maybe the same way I get the stuff I need now, just better stuff, lol. Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

      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.
