Waiting in the surgeons office -- final visit before surgery tomorrow. I can't believe how scared I am. Part of me just wants to run out the door, drive thru a fast food line and forget this whole thing. Frankly, if I hadn't done nine months of prep, starved for two weeks including Xmas on Protein Shakes alone, and done a bowel prep yesterday -- I might actually do it. I'm so frightened!

I had surgery on Thursday. It is frightening. I have had surgery before but forgot the process. My pain was minimal but you will be uncomfortable. I know I had second thoughts up to the time of surgery. Hang in there as I am sure both of us will be very happy about it soon.

Hi Kathryn, I was petrified. My surgery was Dec 19. I think my fear was all about the medical end - the surgery, etc. Thank God all went well, as I'm sure it will for you as well. You're prepared, and once you get past the surgery, it gets easier....like a huge sigh of relief. I had some pain (some people had none!), but the first three days seem to be the worst. Then you'll be home in your own bed and on your way! Good luck, breathe deep, and let us know how it goes!

      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.
