Tomorrow is the BIG day, anyone else ?



Recommended Posts

Mine is at 11:30 too! I am looking forward to some anxiety medication. If they don't offer, I will ask. I just worry about being under anesthetic for 3.5 -4 hours. I have never been under that long.

I'm having a reaction similar to yours. Not taking anesthesia that well. I have pain and I cMt tell if it's hunger or gas or what.

Jealous and happy for those who were able to jump out of bed and walk. I wasn't one of those. I didn't walk on Tuesday at all. Wednesdayorning the physical therapist made me walk and I have done a few rounds since then.

Lots of "bubble gut" and diarrhea. Hurts to burp and cough but feel better after each small nap. I won't go home until Friday.

I don't know any of you except through these posts but I feel connected and hang on every word you send. ???? Please know that you are an inspiration to all of us waiting to go down the same path "willingly" I might add. I pray for you all and that the anxiety and pain will get better. Huggies and keep up the good fight. ❤️

The pain is def different for everyone. You really can't base your experience on mine or anyone else's because while suffering, a lady who had surgery the next day was walking faster than me in the halls and recovering much better. Just go in positive and know what you'll get better. This pain sucks for me but everyday is better. Baby steps.

Someone told me today I already look skinnier and that made me feel good. Just have faith and know that you're gonna make it out okay, even if it takes more time than others .

Good luck to all future surgeries !

It feels like I'm swapping symptoms. I have less pain, but now I can't get comfortable, I started going to the "bathroom" yesterday and have been 10 plus times since, not sure what the heck that is coming out, but I can't wait for it to stop... Are you experiencing that too? I feel weak most of time. I can't drink liquid Water and have crushed iced instead. Not sure when this is supposed to get better, but I really wish it would happen already. How are you ??

      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
