Recommended Posts

Im first for mine as well. Have to be there at 5 ( in 3 hours) surgery at 7. But I'm at a hotel 3 miles away from hospital and can't sleep.

Hey I'm up and going. Getting ready still going to the freaking bathroom. I will be thinking of you and praying all goes well for both of us.

You will both do great! Tomorrow am will fly by and in the afternoon we'll be scootching over so 2 more fabulous ladies can join us on the losers bench!

Just try to remember the nurses, your pain pump, Chapstick and walking are your new best friends for the day. After that at home it's pain meds, slowly sipping Water, drinking your Protein, walking as much as you can, and Chapstick for those dry lips.....oh, and us, we're here for whatever you need! :)

It's not the end of the world, we all make mistakes here n there. You did it, acknowledged it, now you get to start fresh with a new day. :) you got this, just a few more days and you'll be on the other side.

Don't stress, it's liquid and goes right through. If you "over" drink anything, water's the best thing to do it with.

      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.
