Today is the day! And I haven't slept!



Recommended Posts

Today is the day!! I was so excited I couldn't sleep last night and then I ended up with only one hour of sleep! Eh, I guess I'll have plenty of time to catch up the next few days!!

Surgery is at 7:30am PST and check in is at 5:30am. Almost there!!!

I was so excited on my surgery day also! I was bouncing on the gurney in the pre-op and my friend who drove me asked, "You know you're having a surgery, right?" He understood though because his wife had had a sleeve also.

It really as an exciting and day and so many months (and longer for some) leading up to it!

Best wishes on your surgery and a swift recovery!

Thank you everyone for the well wishes! I've been sleeping the majority of the day with the exception of walks down the hall and bathroom trips!

It all happened so fast! I don't remember being hauled into the OR or even being in recovery! Next thing I knew I was already in my room!

So far so good, sore stomach and those gas pains when they come sure come!

They said I've been so good with vitals and everything I should be let out by 11 tomorrow!

Crossing fingers and thanks again!!

      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.
