Good luck tomorrow everyone. I got a anti nausea patch before surgery and it was good for 3 days, and Every time I got pain meds I asked for nausea meds. Didn't get sick or have any other problems other than my O2 saturation levels, but I have been dealing with that for a year or so. Blistex and cold glycerin swabs were great after surgery, due to not being able to drink until the next day after swallow test. It's been 6 days and I haven't taken any pain meds for 3 days. I took Isopure to the hospital with me and mixed it with crystal light it was good. My Dr said he just wants to make sure we stay hydrated. I am also wearing a compression garmet I bought at target to help getting out of bed, I just started wearing it today before I started cleaning the house.

Good morning!!! Managed to get about 3 hours of sleep. We are leaving for the hospital in about 20 minutes. It's about an hour and a half away, but in a chicago suburb so we are giving ourselves a little extra time for traffic. Check in is at 9am cst.

Good luck to everyone today!!!!!

      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.
