October Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

Glad to finally hear from you tp100. Yeah I have read stories about the mother nature thing with this surgery so I went out and bought 4 boxes of tampons LOL. I can't stand pads. I should be starting aunt Flo any day now so hopefully I wont be on it during surgery time

Well I am definitly not into pads either but just trying to wipe is a chore I can't imagine trying to use a tampon right now.

I was just having a convo with my hubby that I am going to rent a recliner for surgery and stock up on pads...the thought of tampons scares me for that time. Even though I hate pads I will suck it up

Do you think a recliner would be helpful?

I rented a recliner because I've read that it is easier to sleep in until a couple to few weeks out. Its a really comfy one. :D

I am trying to start one. Not sure what exactly I can or cannot have or if I have to count calories along with this too. I don't have to do one yet just one week prior to surgery and don't have a date yet. But last I talked to surgeon in July he wanted me to lose 10 pounds before surgery

      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.
