Be been hoping this day would come, and now it's here!!! I'm so excited I don't know that I'll sleep. I have to be up at 3am to get ready to go to the hospital so this really is happening!!! I lost 20lbs on my 7 day pre-op diet! I can't wait to see how I do after! Any one else having surgery tomorrow?

My surgery is tomorrow also and I have to be up at 5 AM and also feel like I can't sleep! It's okay though because tomorrow will be exciting and I'll get a nap during my anesthesia induced coma :)

My original date was for 10/14 but I got a call on Monday that my surgeon is sick and another surgeon in the same practice was willing to cover but it had to be this Thursday. Of course I said yes because I didn't want to have to wait several more weeks. Good luck to you!!

Hang in there girls! You will have ups and downs in the first month but it will be worth it. Come back to the real world that is beyond the wall of fat! You will be happy you made the trip.

. How are you doing with pain and nausea?? My pain on the pain scale has been above 8 since surgery and I'm constantly nauseated. But I'm getting better... I think. Gas pains are still intense but I've done great walking.

      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.
