I just don't think it has hit me yet! I am so excited. Took my magnesium citrate drink and have to pack my bag. I'm more excited rather than nervous.

Anyone around theme same time? Nervous? Excited? Anything special to bring to hospital besides Chapstick?

Ah that's cute!! I sent him the link to buy it as a hint I wanted it. I saw the charge through our bank account, so I know I am getting it. :)

Its a little expensive but not too bad. I think the other link I found you can personalize and date too. Those are more expensive. https://www.etsy.com/listing/162403454/weight-loss-surgery-plush-toy-gastric

If you google gastric sleeve plush you get a bunch. They even have key chains as a cheeper alternative!

It clears out your system. So there will be nothing in your stomach when they do surgery.

      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.
