I'm tomorrow at 1:30 pm. It's getting very real now! I'm soooo excited to start this next chapter of my life, but I'm nervous about the anesthesia and stuff. I get terribly sick from it so I hope I'm not throwing up all day tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone!!

Best wishes.. I was right there this time last week... and it is going to feel so good to be on the "other" side when it is all over. It gets better everyday. Who said this is the "easy" way out????... its FAR from being easy...yet SO worth it... and I am seeing my body begin to change already and its only been a week! You will do great :-)

Wishing you the best. I'm pre-surgery (don't have a date yet) and I'm oh so scared....but, I was walking around JCP yesterday and was so ill and hurting from being so overweight and I told myself "remember how bad this feels". I can't wait to just get healthy! You will do awesome. Please post about your experience later.

I've been under for the removal if my gallbladder and an endoscopy. I was worried I'd hear or remember something but nope. Nothing but blackness then you wake up.

Good luck and I wish you we'll on your surgery and recovery. Keep us posted on your postop as that is my worry right now.

My surgery is Monday at 11:00am and I know where you are right now. What has helped me get over the jitters is to keep reminding myself why I decided to do this in the first place and what I can look forward to because of it. God bless and prayers for a successful and uneventful surgery and recovery.

Lots of good luck and wishing you well tomorrow!!!!

Thank you SuperFab and others for the encouragement. Getting ready to head to the hospital in a couple of hours but wanted to check back here to wish everyone good luck and prayers for a successful surgery. I am surprisingly calm this morning - hope it stays that way.

      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.
