Well last week when Tricare approved me I received a oct 21st date. This morning I received a call from my doctors office to let me know they could move me up to this Tuesday! I rushed like crazy getting my preop testing today and I'm ready! I am so ready ????

I finally have a date. OCTOBER 28. My first contact with my surgeon was November 7, 2013, so it has basically been a year since I started. In that time, I have had uterine cancer, more tests than I ever imagined. And now the time is actually near.

I've already been on the liquid diet for three weeks, and I will be on it until the day of surgery. (Three Protein drinks a day and raw veggies 2 x a day) That does not seem like enough food to me, but I am willing.

I don't have a lot of information on how this all happens. My pre-op appointment is not until October 24. Meanwhile, I wait. I am so happy about this.

I find this website to be extremely helpful. I thank all of you out there for sharing your experiences.

Feeling pretty good for day 2. No gas pains yet. Day after surgery is worse than the first day, the really good stuff has worn off, and all I've got is the pain pump.

The nurses seem worried that when I fall asleep my oxygen levels drop because I'm not taking big enough breaths. But big breaths hurt!!! So they've got me back on oxygen thingies up my nose.

sleep is amazing, walking is fine, no ???? yet!

      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.
