Good luck!!!!!!! Will be over before you know it. Just remember to walk all you can, speeds healing and help you get rid of the gas they pump in you. Pain should be very minimal.

Congrats to those who got their dates, hang in there fit those on the pre-op diet and let's do this for this having surgery soon!

I had my pre-op appt Wednesday, blood work, ekg and final weigh-in. I was of by 1 kg so I basically made goal.

I have surgery in 5 hrs. I tried to sleep but no dice. I had to take a double shower with Descutan an antimicrobial soap and will take one more before I leave to the hospital. Also had to give myself a heparin shot, the needle was nothing but the injection burned a little. Packed my bag, journaled and now just trying to sleep and wait. Oh and I will take 5 prophylactic antibiotics before I go too. I'll only stay one night and visiting hrs are dumb from 3pm-7pm. So I'll be alone majority of the time.

Not really afraid, just anxious to get it over with so I can start healing. I'm hoping pain won't be too bad as they don't give an Rx for pain meds, it's Tylenol after discharge home. Got all that, lol! Sorry it's so long...

      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.
