Anyone have to do any kind of bowel prep? I'm debating on doing an enema, I know things slow down after anesthesia, I thought I would feel better if I was as empty as possible.

I am just about jumping out of my skin with nerves, would love to fast forward 4 months!

I'm up attempting to pack for tomorrow. I'm drawing blank here, I have pj's, socks, and undies....that's it

Here's my list in addition to that:

toothbrush
deodorant
hair brush
laptop/tablet/phone
heating pad
toiletries
cell phone charger
Comfy sweat pants/house dresses
Soft bras
Big hoodie for the drive home
Chapstick
Extension cord for all your plug ins
a large pair of panties so nothing chafes incisions.
small travel pillow for ride home
slip on shoes
trash bags for car in case you throw up on way home
Putting it all in a small carry-on so husband just has one piece to keep with him while he waits...
FINGERS CROSSED FOR ALL OF US!

      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.
