Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I just wanted to check in. Today I had my pre-op appointment. Did labs, signed a bunch of papers and was given my pre-op diet instructions. Time is fast approaching because it seems like Tuesday, October 14th will be here before I know it! I'm sending happy calming vibes to everyone!!!

I'm right behind you????

I'm scheduled for 10/27! Counting down......

I'm really now wanting to have a lot of people around - my daughter will be with me the first day. Who are you having with you for surgery and post op recovery. Should I have my mom come in - I'm single.

I'm scheduled for the 22nd..My husband will be with me until I come out of surgery and walk the halls...I probably won't want anyone to stay over night..this way I can rest..lol

Wow! That is awesome. How are you feeling?

  • I am going to have my husband there for the surgery. My dad is coming up for the afternoon and my friend is taking off the next couple of days to be with me. I still haven't decided if I'm telling people outside of my family and close friends. I'm having my gall bladder removed also so I might just tell about that for a while.

You are so prepared. I have some things but I'm not that prepared. I'm going to make a list of what I still need and pick those things up tomorrow. Excited and nervous and hungry lol.

      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.
