So I went to my pre op appointment Wednesday and from the previous appointment I was told my surgery was going to be dec. 1, but they pumped it up to this Monday.Iam so nervous IAM glad I have a good support system because I COULD NOT do it alone. Kids have to go to school and such. Hopefully everything turns out great ????

Just keep a positive attitude. Follow your doctor's orders exactly and drink and walk as much as you can. Sending prayers up for you and your surgeons.

pumped it up to Monday

@@ELI.p.m

how exciting to be told your surgery is being moved up

better than moving it back a week or so :o

surgery has been sprung up earlier than planned - that is so exciting

great that you have people right there to support you :)

OMG - monday is the day after tomorrow, or the day before tuesday :huh:

hmmmm i think they are one in the same!! :D

good luck

speedy recovery

Good for you! Now you can get it over with and start healing. That is over a week less that you have to worry. Don't forget to take some chapstick.

Iam getting butterflies in my stomach from nervousness and excitement... GOD has surely blessed me. Can any of you tell me what to take ?? The hospital is about a hour ...hour and a half with traffic.

From what I've read, I plan on taking my phone and charger, slippers, roomy comfy clothes for going home in, Gas X strips, Burt Bees extra moisturizing lip balm, body lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, face wash, my reg meds and my own pillow for sleeping and for padding on the drive home. If possible, use a dark or brightly colored pillowcase so you don't forget and leave it behind.

I think it's probably good to have less time to stress before surgery. Best of luck and looking forward to a post op update. A new world awaits you!

      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.
