I want to say thank you. I am having a hard time leading up to my surgery. :) I have my surgery on 8/12. I have days where I am really excited and days where I am a wreck. Today, I am a wreck. I am tired, and worn out and I'm starting to question my sanity on getting this done. I am happy to read that you are doing so well. It makes me think that I can do this today. :) Congrats and Good Luck!!!

Brandy Jun it normal! Its all the emotions we all or just me but I'm pretty sure I can include others, it's natural...mentally we question our desicion it's a huge lifestyle change. But u wouldn't have made it thru all the pre dr visits, labs, psych, surgeon insurance approval all these months an then being a qualified candidate if u didn't want to go thru this..but I will say if u are really truly not ready for this go get an appointment with the psych Dr who u see or who the surgeon has set up an talk...I was a nervous wreck up o he night before then a calmness came over me..I slept good night before my surgery. I actually was having 2 thumbs up goin in the or. ..ull be fine..hang in there. If u are also having hernia repair I will say this I had bad gas pains in my chest, I took gas x strips from the house, an every sip the day after I took I had spasms from my esophagus bc of all the nerve ending being cut...mine finally went away after a wk..I'm 3 wks out...35 pds down still learning my full limit but doing great...hang in there!! Come here an ask questions. ...love this forum..:)

My surgery is slated for 8/13, and like you I have days of excitement and days of questioning myself. After meeting my surgeon today and telling him I was nervous about the surgery itself, he said to me, "it's okay to be nervous, as long a I'm not nervous, we'll be fine". In a weird way, that made it better for me. I've also been thinking a lot about something I read on one of the forum boards: having the surgery is hard, being overweight is hard, choose your hard.

We've got this!

This is ok. I felt the same way as anyone. This is a major surgery and a life changing experience . The one question I asked myself is "do I really wanna stay like this where I'm uncomfortable n cannot run around with my young son? " no I don't wanna like that! I lost almost 40lbs n I feel like a million bucks so I can imagine how it's gonna be when I lose more. Keep in mind u with go through pain as I did n gas omg n a little chest pain . But this is a process. U will get through it . N live a healthy happy life

I just had my surgery a few days ago, and I felt exactly the same way in the last couple of weeks beforehand. I was nervous and jittery and second guessing myself all over the place. I honestly think that at least half of it was being on the liquid diet. It made me feel exhausted and weepy and emotionally shaky. Just try to remember how you felt when you made the decision. You were probably calmer and I bet you did a ton of research and reading and weighing pros and cons. You can do this!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got 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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
