Nice list.... Very similar to mine. I am wearing a dress home because in afraid to have anything around my stomach.

I hope I don't forget to take my before pic.

Do you know if you get your own room in the hospital? I have never had to share a room before.... So that might be interesting.

Yea, Im wearing a dress home as well, But I chose tops and bottoms at the hospital because I just wouldn't feel right with a gown.

And from what the nurses and surgeon told me I won't have to share a room with anyone while I'm there Thank GOD!!!

And I'm letting my hubby take a picture of me that morning before I leave for the hospital.

I have to be there at 8:30am sharp but I dont have surgery until 10:30am I just hope I have a good nurse that knows what she's doing when It comes to putting In my IV.

Oh I know.... That IV is the worst and I can tolerate a lot. The last time I was in the hospital it left my arm black and blue.

You are lucky you don't have to share a room.... Fingers crossed that I won't either.

I bet it will be more comfortable walking around in pants vs. a gown anyway. I can't believe this day is half over....

Are you guys ready for this?

I am doing great, just kinda freaking out that surgery is in a week! Lol

My countdown app just went off to remind that my diet has officially began. Honestly, I'm kinda relieved that I'm down eating for a while. I've pigged out so much since I got my date, I feel permanently full haha

Angelic, I haven't been to any support groups yet but I'm thinking about maybe joining one when I'm a couple months post op. My mom had the surgery about 7 years ago and has totally rocked it so I'm going to look to her for a lot of advice. What about you, have you joined any support groups?

I am looking forward to not taking insulin, and checking my blood sugar. People may think its strange but I forget I have diabetes sometimes. And I have pressure on my nerves in my back. That never (constantly hurting) ending pain. But three cheers for us. I'll be joining all of you in a month Good Luck and a speedy recovery to all.

We'll be saving a place for you on the losers bench! I'm so excited for the pain to end too. I'm only 22 but all the weight is finally catching up to me with aches and pains. You'll be off insulin and feeling good in no time! Make sure to keep in touch with us (:

      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
