Surgery tomorrow! Freaking out



Recommended Posts

I'm not overly concerned with the actual surgery but i started my liquid diet Friday and have cheated a little every day. Yesterday I cheated a lot. Half a Breakfast sandwich, a bag of cashews and a bunch of popcorn. I'm so nervous even though my liver isn't fatty anyways. Whoever thought of this clear liquid diet has obviously never been on one. 23 more hours!!!!

Good luck to all of you this week! It is a very nervous and exciting time! Remember to ask for the flavored sponges they will hydrate your lips and mouth after surgery. They are a life saver!! :)

Good luck everyone on your surgeries coming up this week and the beginning of your new life journey. Flavored sponges? I had no idea there was such a thing. I think my hospital staff may have been holding out on me.

It is my one tip I give out to all presleevers about to have their surgery. I can't tell you how much they helped me!

from what I've heard, flavored sponges are a lifesaver after surgery. I'm pretty sure I had them when I was banded. 13 hours from now, I will hopefully be happily sucking away on one until they allow me some broth or Jello

Hello all, I'm still up and my surgery is literally less than 6 hours away, I think I've done everything, said goodbye to all the yummy Snacks and the pepsi cola. Dang it was a bitter sweet moment. Well wishing all the November sleevers a happy healing

      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.
