Need Some Encouragement (This Is Going To Be Long)



Recommended Posts

Vicki -

You are so inspirational and supportive to all of us on this board. It sucks right now but it is better to make sure everything is ok before having major surgery. Someone said it earlier - "Everything happens for a reason." That is so true. You can make it through this! We will all be here when you have your surgery - no matter how long you wait. Keep your chin up. We are all in this together.

WELLLLLLL it looks like I will be having surgery tomorrow. Just left the Gyno office and he talked to the Barbaric Surgeon and recommended go ahead with surgery and remove the ovary at the same time. So unless I hear something different this afternoon I am on Clear Liquids and mentally preparing myself. Please say some prayers for me. I have been up and down and all over the place, I thought for sure it would be postponed again. I am in a bit of shock right now.

Congrats! I haven't been on here for a few days and started reading from the top. As I read, I was guessing that they may do both at the same time. I am glad for you that it will all be done that way, only one to recover from! Hugs and praying for you!

      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.
