I have my surgery on Monday too. Waiting for a call later today telling me when to arrive. I'm so nervous that they're going to say this was a joke and you're not getting it done. Can't wait for the call hoping it's good news.

Listen, I know all too well how it feels to lay down on that SMALL table and have your arms strapped down. With 4 c-sections under my belt, it was not easy for me. With all the lights and people, I hope I do not throw up, lol. At least they can give me something to calm my nerves before hand. I totally made a fool of myself with my last c-section,lol.

I have to be at the hospital 8 am on Tuesday and plan to be there early. Our time is coming and soon we will be on the loser's bench guys. I was thinking about it last night. All the excitement and anxiety will be over soon, then what? lol.

How are the August post ops doing? I have to play catch up with the posts this weekend because I have been very busy with homeschooling three children.

We can do this Keisha and Doc_Law, We can do this!

I think I am more concerned about how my liver shrink diet went pre-op, lol.

Yes! If the surgeon tells me I can't have the surgery I'm going to be crushed. 2.5 hrs and i will find out what he says! Did you get your call?

Band revision to sleeve on the 19 th. I'm very tired but the pain is very minimal. I'm on oxygen that has more to with living at altitude.

As far as going under, my preop nurse gave me something to take the edge off and the next thing I remember it was 6:30 and my family was in my room.

Hey guys, just an update... I had my sleeve done on august 20th. Yesterday was pretty rough since I can't tolerate the liquid pain meds. So they sent me home with just Tylenol. Hopefully the soreness will start to get better in the next couple of days! I feel pretty good considering, just have to remember to keep sipping.

The surgery went well doctor said he has never seen such a good anatomy I thin inside not much fat. Wat??? So I guess my fat is on the outside. But overall it went well. Don't know wen I am full but I keep sipping all the time. My drain is out and I am home. To all who have been sleeved and will be sleeved hang in there. Don't give up I almost did glad I stuck with it.

      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.
