Recommended Posts

Phew! I made it to day 14 of my pre op milk diet. Feeling fab, lost 16lbs!!! Bag all packed and ready to go get banded tomorrow. Can't wait, so excited and I must admit a little nervous. My partner reminded me this evening that I wouldn't see my daughters for 2 days, I cried. Think im a tad emotional!! Xx

I think the crying is totally normal...I completely broke down crying when I had to say goodbye to my husband and mom before surgery.

Best of luck tomorrow!

Congratulations! I was nervous, too, and very excited. You are choosing a healthy future for yourself and that is a very emotional step. I had never been an overnight patient in the hospital before and it was all so much easier than I thought it would be. I felt well taken care of and I'm sure you will, too. Keep us posted. I just saw another Post for some one getting banded tomorrow so you will have a band birthday to Celebrate together. Just think of a year from now!

      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.
