My surgery is tomorrow and I'm freaking out!



Recommended Posts

You don't have to look too hard to find my first post here... which was a few nights before the surgery, in which I admitted to crying my eyes out, and wanting to write emotional letters to my wife and kids "just in case."

Easy to blame the caffeine... :) But I think its natural to get emotional over this. Its a major life decision... it's not minor in any way, shape, or form.

You're gonna be okay... and you're gonna come out on the other end of this so much happier, healthier, and ready for what life throws your way.

Very best of luck to you!

I cried during my pre-op diet. I was so scared the morning I went in! I was a babbling idiot. I am 5 months out and I cry easily. I think the changes your body goes through are very significant. I don't worry about it. If I feel like crying, I 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.
