I can't believe my surgery is tomorrow. Went through a panic moment this afternoon but now I'm feeling better. The prep isn't very fun the day before surgery but like anything this too shall pass (literally)????. I pray for no complications! I will post again postoperative.

Actually, the surgeon cancelled my surgery 15 minutes before my surgery time. I had my IV started and the anesthesiologist saw me. The surgeon looked at my abdomen and saw a couple superficial scratches and said if he had to convert to an open procedure, one of them would be in the area and he didn't want to risk infection. I'm a nurse and I was in complete shock to cancel surgery because of a couple superficial scratches. I have never seen that before. So, I am switching surgeons and hoping to have the surgery in January or Feb. I was so bummed.

Oh my goodness, @@rmckellips! That's terrible! I can't imagine getting so psyched up and then having everything fall apart at the last minute. I would be royally P!SSED 0FF. I'm glad to hear you're looking for an alternative and planning to move ahead soon. It's impossible not to lose a little bit of momentum from this, but it's still important and you can make it happen. Best of luck pushing ahead.

      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.
