Surgery Tomorrow Morning.. VERY nervous



Recommended Posts

I am not particularly a stranger to the operating room and I don't recall ever feeling this nervous. Things are flying around in my head and just won't stop, if I could sum it up I have a lot of anxiety and found it very tough to get to sleep last night.. ended up online till 1 in the morning.

I have been cleaning the house all day off and on, we stocked up yesterday. I have the following list, in case it is useful to anyone else:

1. Prune juice

2. Cream Soups

3. broth

4. Protein shakes

5. Drinkable Yogurt

6. chewable Vitamins

7. Chewable Calcium + Vit D

8. Pill box so that I can put all my pills in the dosage my surgeon wants before I go in.

9. 2 new Pillows to give me extra support in bed so that I can sleep sitting up if I have to.

10. A body pillow.

11. Pure indulgence.. a mini lavender bean bag bunny to squeeze and snuggle.

12. Spring Water

Sooooo.. I guess tomorrow.. over to post op.

I was very nervous too, but you'll find that the surgery itself will go by quick. I was in and out in 3 hours.

Your list seems good, sums up my last 4 days. The day I came home on Wednesday, I had a very achy left shoulder and used a heat pad overnight worked great and the pain only lasted one day.

Good luck tomorrow.

      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. 🤞
