natnat, I'm starting to freak out...my surgery is booked July 3.

I'm terrified of vomiting.

Did you vomit?

Can they give you something before the surgery for that?

How about anxiety meds?

I've had no nausea and haven't vomited at all. But from reading these posts on here, seems like that's not the norm....They gave me nausea and pain meds the entire time i was there thru my IV

Well, Nell.... how did it go? I just got home from the hospital.... overall, it went well.

When I woke up after surgery my tummy felt like a 60 pound child was sitting on it. But once I got on Pain Meds, that cleared right up. I feel like my tummy just overdid it at the gym. I had trouble tinkling, they wouldn't release me until I could show I could tinkle....After many tries, I finally turned on the shower and voila, it came out and they let me go.

Now, all I want to do is sleep. And sleep.< /p>

I got home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. Things are going much better for me now-- I had a lot of nausea, vomiting and headache related to the general anaesthesia and morphine, so that was pretty unpleasant. Now that I'm home I'm able to hold down g2 and Protein shakes-- tiny little sips! I've been trying to hold off on anything other than Tylenol as Zofran gave me a wicked headache.

One day at a time-- an I agree-- I look forward to my sleep!!!

      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. 🤞
