Surgery tomorrow freaking out



Recommended Posts

I dunno how to feel. My emotions are all over the place. I dunno if I'm scared, nervous, anxious, excited. I'm so confused. My bff is coming from nj to be here with me, and my other bff is coming from work to be here with me. I want this but I just don't wanna think about it. This is so surreal to me ughhh. Smh help me ease my mind please!

I felt the same way! Just relax surgery is over before you know it. I'm a wimp it was my first surgery if I can do it I know you can to. Think about how great you'll feel when you start dropping those pounds and how healthy you'll feel. Your gonna do great!

I hear so many people say surgery was literally a breeze, I'm sure it will be. I just have this notion that I rather panic, and have a smooth recovery, than be cool and calm but have complications. This is the point of no return -deep breath-

You guys will do great, congratulations on it being just around the corner now! Somebody at my support group said the same thing the other day, and all the veterans chimed in that they had felt that way for a few days before surgery to. Several of them said they are.had given them some anti-anxiety meds to take the night before and the morning and they really helped. Even though it is too late for that, just knowing so many people have that pre-op anxiety, tells me that it is not unexpected or Dyer, and hopefully not to worry too much. Maybe look at the before and after photos section of the website for inspiration? Hang in there, and I'll bet it will go fine.

      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.
