Congrats!!! That was my date but I got a call and its switched to the 25th.

What have you done to prepare?

Today I went and bought the Shampoo thats suppose to help with loosing my hair. That was the last thing I needed on my list to get.

I feel the exact same way.. I am excited but sometimes my nerves get the best of me. Just scaring myself about going to surgery & waking up in pain!

I'm not nervous about the surgery I've had 4 csections and went threw tbe recovery of tje last two alone. The nurse told me I'll be fine! But i am a single mother of 4 with no help. My friends all live too far to help and my family isn't much help either. Kinda feel like I'm going threw this alone and im more worried about what I'm gonna cook for my kids after surgery....

The Shampoo I got was from Sally Beauty Supply and its called Nutri-Ox. If you can't get that one I know some people have bought the Garnier with Biotin in it and its cheaper but they say its not as strong. Not sure if money was a factor in your choice but just a heads up.

I just go the shampoo and was gonna get the conditioner but they were out of the one for color hair. I tried it last night even though I haven't had surgery yet(next Tuesday) I started now to get a head start and maybe I won't loose so much hair

Thanks! I'm going to look for it. The nurse told me its the not taking the Vitamins that makes people loose hair. So I'm gonna be ontop of that since my hair is allready thin :-(

That's what they told me too ...that losing hair is due to not taking the Vitamins & getting enough Protein in. However, if the Shampoo works I'm all for it!

      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.
