Recommended Posts

Sitting here in TJ trying to fall asleep.

Tomorrow the driver picks me up at 645 to take me to the hospital. 8am is my surgery time.

Nerves have been flushing through me all day from the moment that I was given my concent forms to sign.

Then the hospital gave me he option to have my surgery from Friday moved to tomorrow .... I jumped at the chance.

My head is pounding, my tummy is growling and I am so nervous.

Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life.....

Good Night !!!!!

You're going to be fine. Try to get some sleep. If you can't, drink a shot of tequila before your midnight deadline! I can't wait to hear you talk about how everything went smoothly. Goodnight.

I can't even count the amount of bottles of Water I drank the past 5 hours and I stopped counting how many times I peed after the 8th time.

chicken broth was exceptional and the ice cubes are soft enough to chew graciously. Spent 2 hrs in the bar listening to the live band, watching my mum have her gin while knawed on glass after glass of ice.

Great night together.

Good luck to those having surgery today! You're probably already in recovery. On to the next step of the journey!

Excellent post. My thoughts are with everyone getting surgery today. Just remember while the pain does suck, getting healthy and looking great are worth it. The pain is temporary but it will add decades to your life.

I had my surgery yesterday at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, with Dr. Kevin Krause. So far it has gone very well. Minimal pain. Still just on ice chips but start clear liquids later this morning. I'm very excited!

Glad to hear you're doing well so far!

Gas pains are dreadful. The vomiting is so painful and the pain medication causes the nausea.

It has been awful so far.

I don't see walking make any difference with the gas.

I want to go home.

      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.
