I had the same thoughts..

This was my first surgery and it freaked me the &%#* out...

But even pre-op, the possible benefits far outweighed the risk..

Good luck to you @@HealthyRN

My surgery is tomorrow as well! At first it was scheduled for 2:30pm and then they moved it up to 9:30am!! YIKES! I immediately felt butterflies in my stomach. Not scared at all but just ready to get it over with. I'm making Jello in ice cubes now for when I get home. At least I'll have something to look forward to. Good luck to everyone having surgery tomorrow! We are on our way!!????????????

I feel fine. Just sore around my incisions. I have not tried to walk a mile outside in 100 degree weather, so I have just stayed home and rested. Today I drove for the first time and felt ok with the seatbelt on.

      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.
