Can't believe my surgery is tomorrow...



Recommended Posts

Hello to everyone,

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. I am feeling so many emotions, I almost want to cry. After years of losing weight only for it to come back when I whenever I would eat carbs has been very heartbreaking for me, I felt like I will have to be on a diet all my life and I would never overcome this weight problem.

I revealed to my neighbor who has been skinny all his life that I am having the sleeve, he told me "why don't you try working out and eating healthy"

Only a person that has had weight issues can relate to how that comment is not at easy as it sounds. I did very well on all my past diets to lose the weight, but it would always somehow make it's way back. Whenever I would eat, I would actually get hungrier after I am done eating and just keep eating. I never feel full when I eat, I feel like this only happens to me.

I have great plans ahead to lose the weight and keep it off. Thank you to you everyone for your informative posts! xoxo

      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. 🤞
