I do have the medicine... but I think I was wrong yesterday today is the night before the night before... ha ha...can't keep myself straight... I did real good on the diet I didn't cheat at all. Tomorrow I go in for my mammogram and my yearly.. they were just about due and I was able to get them scheduled for the day before surgery. did not think the mammogram would be too comfortable to do afterwards....then I am going to go get my hair done and a pedicure... then pick my sons early from school so I can start drinking the lovely medicine... I figured no way was I going to be waiting for the kids away from the house and then oh man where is a bathroom.... I wish everyone this week the best of luck and hopefully we all come thru this with all of our dreams just starting to be realized.

That's funny! Until like Friday I was sure my surgery was Wednesday (but still the 26th) every time my husband I even talked about planning for the week we wound up hugely frustrated and annoyed with each other.

I am due at Admitting at 9:30 tomorrow morning. I'm scheduled for 11:45 but I imagine since I'm not first up it could be almost anytime in early afternoon.

I am generally pretty OK with the surgery itself. I only had to liquid diet yesterday and today and yesterday morning my slight hunger and excitement were making lovely butterflies in my stomach and I felt almost high. Then the PEG 3350 (or "poop" medicine) sort of ruined that! Now I keep having waves of "This is crazy!" but still no worries over the surgery itself which is either confidence or lack of insight. Eh, I'll take it.

wow, I just can't imagine how I'm going to feel the night before. I'm scheduled at 11:30am, 2nd Case. You have my prayers. Can't wait to read your updates.

Thanks for well wishes. All went well! I just had my first walk around. ( weird, I had to ask! A few times.). I was pretty miserable on my back not able to move.

Yeah the best parts so far have been being able to walk to the bathroom but hurts like hell when I get up or sit down. My surgery went well though. I'm sad I can't drink anything until I get out of the hospital tomorrow

      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.
