Uh-Oh...i'm Getting Sick And Its 8 Days Til Surgery



Recommended Posts

Just my luck. Lastnight I noticed that my throat was getting very scratchy. Tonight when I woke up before coming to work I noticed that my throat was hurting terribly and my nose is stuffy. WTH?!?!?

Hope this doesn't effect my surgery. :wacko:

If you are full blown sick it probably will. Take extra good care of yourself and rest as much as you can... good luck!

I go to my PCM tomorrow for my labs and referrals to the Cardiology, Pulmonology, Gastro, and Psych. Hopefully I can get appointments sooner rather than later. I am hoping for a January surgery date. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Thank you for asking.

I've been petrified of the SAME thing now that I'm only a couple days away from my surgery. I've been trying to drink as much Water as I can, REST as much as I can and am constantly washing my hands and using Wet Ones! Take some sugar free Vitamin C drops and keep drinking lots of water. I think you will be okay!

      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.
