Absolutely! Are you getting nervous? Have you had to do a pre op diet?

Bolingpins & ke-sa - wahoooo! You are even closer than I am! Are you getting nervous? How about the preop diet - did you have one and how's it going for you? Have you started packing yet?

My surgery is 7/7, what's a surgery buddy

A surgery buddy is just someone or a group who chit chat throughout the process and can share tips, how you're feeling, etc... Just people moving through the process and able to bounce their experiences off of one another. Nothing like being able to talk to people in the same position you are. ????

Ohhhhhh. Im new to the forums that makes sense. Absolutely I am game for a few buddies. ???????????? I am a little nervous. Im wondering what to bring to the hospital.

I think jeans would be ok for surgery day but sweat pants or something loose on the way home. Your thoughts

I'm wearing a sundress so it's nice and loose...and probably flip flops so I can just slide my feet in without having to bend forward to put shoes on.

I am a July 8th surgery date. And I am very nervous about it. I'm older [68] and I wonder if I am going to be able to break all these old habits of mine. I want to succeed and finally get my self healthy. I only have to do 1 day of Clear liquids on Monday, so I know I can handle that. But I am ready to get moving and get on with my new life. I would love to be a buddy to anyone who wants to follow my story. Hopefully I can give some valuable info. on my daily experiences. Either way, good luck to you all and I will be watching for your up date.

Wow for the 7/7-ers we have less than 24 hours. I report to the hospital at 8am and go in for surgery at 10am. By this time tomorrow it will be over. I have a ton of stuff to do.

Pack, not sure what to bring but I am packing: cell, charger, cpap, go home clothes, no Water tooth cleaners, mouthwash, shower gel and deodorant. Did I miss anything?

Get my family ready: cook, braid my daughters hair, get her prepped for school tomorrow, braid my hair, clean my house and fix my garden. Should I leave something out?

What's everyone's prep plans.

      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.
