It just keeps getting more real with each passing day. Just this one last week of preop diet and then surgery day-4/27. I'm a little worried about just what it is going to feel like for me since the last surgery I had was when I was 6 yrs old- tonsillectomy! Best wishes to all those before me and best of luck to those who have theirs on the same day and those after!!! :)

Anybody out there had the sleeve and gone home the same day? Mine is with Nicholson Clinic in Dallas and it's a day surgery. Would love to hear experiences of those who had the surgery and went home same day...

I have never heard of anyone leaving on the same day. Most recipients stay two days and if there is

a problem it can be up to a week. Will you have someone with you at home? I wouldn't advise being

alone that first and second day. Everyone that I know who has had the surgery stayed two to four

days. They actually did really well and had hardly no pain and you will probably be just like them

and it will be a walk in the park. Hope all goes well for you and good luck.

I was sleeved on 3/9. The first day I felt horrible. I woke up the next morning and felt 100% better, other than just being really tired.

I am having surgery 4/27 too!!!! The only surgery that i have had too is a tonsillectomy as a child! I think this may be a good thing b/c the actual having surgery does not scare me at all. I remember having a great time in the hospital as a kid. :) i know that surgery is a big deal, i just don't have any fears of it. I am a little nervous about how i am actually going to feel after. i tend to not have a very high pain threshhold.

As for time in the hospital, i was told, by my surgean it would be 1 maybe 2 nights. I am having my surgery first thing in the morning so i am hopeful it will only be 1 night. I also live like 2 blocks from the hospital where i am having the procedure, so if there are any complications it will only take me minutes to get there.

Good luck to you and everyone else!!!!

@Edavidson; I know! Even someone I know that had the sleeve a few months back was in the hospital for at least 2 days. Thankfully, my husband will be with me on 4/27 and 4/28 and if needed can take more days off. He works near home, too, so could be here if I were to need him once he has gone back to work. We'll see how I do.

@Amanda0305: That's great that you live so close to the hospital. I'm about 40 minutes away. I, too, am really more concerned about how I will feel AFTER the surgery, since about all I can really remember from my tonsillectomy was that the surgeons all looked like frogs to me in their green surgery garb and then of having a very sore throat when I woke up. Good luck on 4/27! :)

@jackief: yes, that is what I am kind of expecting to maybe have some bad pain right after and then to hopefully do great! Crossing my fingers. :)

Hi there! I'm also having mine with Dr. Nick, but on 5/4. So exciting! How has your preop diet been going? I'm on day 3 today...so far, so good.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
