Loretta I completely understand. I have not packed either. But have done my nails' date=' laundry, cleaned and shopped for ANYTHING I could think of that I would need to eat coming home. I will be coming home on soft pureed food. Which I guess should be happy about. I am so excited and inI awe, but ready. Took my god awful pictures for comparison tonight. Oh my lol! Good luck Loretta and I will post before and after surgery!!![/quote']

I'm still not sure what to pack.. I just want to pass out at home be taken to the hospital then brought home after its all said and done--

I guess the reality of two days is finally setting in? I did buy some gasx strips since I've seen posts about the bloating, and the doc gave me a script for milk of magnesia. Great bloated and full of crap just want I didn't need after the two week diet!

That's funny... I'm going in tomorrow morning at 7:00 and I'm still not packed.. I'm thinking my slip on sandals, warm socks, robe, a book, and a few toiletries... Sounds good :)

Good luck!!!

I'm new to this forum and wanted to joing the March group! I had surgery on March 20. So far things are going great!

For all the nervous people - my experience was so un-nerve racking leading up. I walked in to the operating room, chatted with the anesthesiologist, the surgeon. Luckily I felt relaxed and I think it really helped me. Just take a few breaths and know that everything will be great!

      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.

      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.
