Pre op visit was today



Recommended Posts

My pre-op visit with my surgeon was today. I start my liquid diet tomorrow and have reached paralyzed fear!! I'm so scared something is going to go wrong! I'm not worried about the pain or sticking with the diet but I'm afraid I'll never wake up again!

I think that is normal but you will regret it if you don't go through with it...it's less than 1% chance of something going wrong...ask the Lord to give you strength and to see you through this surgery, God Bless!!!

I have that same fear, but the fear of doing nothing and dropping dead of a heart attack or some other obesity-related disease is worse.

Best of luck to you!

You know your life path is already drawn. God is in control of everything. Driving to the hospital for your surgery can kill you. If you believe in God put your faith in him. I had no fear of this surgery as my life belongs to God. If it was my time then it was my time. I made it. Easy as closing your eyes and then waking up 2 seconds later. You will be fine. If this surgery scares you think about heart surgery or some other weight related surgery you may end up having to get. You will do great.

I guess we are kind of in the same boat. I start my liquid fast today. It's absolutely common to be nervous. Not everyday will someone go over a procedure like this. But I will say, pray everything will go fine. It's a lot easier to follow the Doctor's order. You will do good.

Thank you everyone! The thought of never seeing my babies again scares me so bad but I have been praying to God to get me through this!

      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.
