Surgery in 2 days. I seem to be all of a sudden noticing every food commercial now. Funny how my head starts thinking of reasons to quit and go eat an entire pizza. Battle of sheer will today.

I've been having the most random cravings. Like I want ONE ravioli.

Surgery is tmw! I'm going strong but oh good lord. The other day, I wanted a single sour cream and onion ripple chip. I thought I that if I could have just one I would be satisfied and move on. I did NOT eat a single solitary chip but it took great willpower.

Funny thing? I don't even LIKE sour cream and onion chips. I just wanted to "make sure." Ha.

I'm so scared about tomorrow! But I also can't wait.

Stay the course guys! We are all so close

My surgery is March 16, 2015! Coming up quickly.

I'd love to be in a supportive posting group with other March sleeve-to-be's!

I'm going to my internist for my final medical clearance this afternoon. I already had my pre-op testing last week.

I have a band that is going to be taken out at the same time that the sleeve procedure will be done. The band gave me complications after 3 years of success. I'm super excited to be sleeved so soon and have the band be-gone!

Best to all of you on your pre-op journeys and with your post-op success!

Had my surgery this morning at 7:30. I was out and in my room by 11:30am.

Chest is a little tight from the anesthesia, but I'm doing that breathing thing they make you. I was just a little nauseated and the nurse gave me something for that,

Was able to get up and use the bathroom. Got a look at my incisions and they are small. Very pleased with that.

I'm feeling pretty good overall. Tired, but that's to be expected.

WE CAN DO IT.

My surgeon just stopped in and he thinks I can go home tomorrow.

I'm definitely planning on walking around in a little while. It's shift change right now so it's a little chaotic out there. :)

      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.
