I never would have guessed I'd be having so many emotions tonight. The only survey I've had in my life is a csection to deliver my baby. I guess it is different when you are having elective surgery.

But then again, is it really elective when you need it to survive longer for your child's sake? Nope! I'm going to DOMINATE this surgery and this journey.

Let's do this!

Good luck to anyone else about to go under soon too!

Totally normal to feel that way. I was all over the place 24hrs before surgery! New life tomorrow for you!

My surgery is tomorrow too, I've only had a C-section and one other to repair a Hernia but I'm nervous still (and excited of course too!)

Good luck with yours too! :)

@@Asweethotmess @@AmyML hydrate as late as possible! got your seats saved here on the losers bench!

Thank you! :D

My surgery isn't until 3:15pm and it's going to be tough going that long with no Water, I'm still up and drinking up Water and broth as much as I can right now! I think they said I can drink up until 3 am but I'll probably be going to sleep soon so I don't think I'll drink anything after 11pm.

I had a late afternoon surgery last Monday. Now 6 days post op, I feel great, no pain meds since Tuesday, and am ready to get back to work. You'll do great!

Congrats y'all. My op is tomorrow too and my wife gave me a "honey-do-list" of things to do today before I'm out of commission. But it actually helped keep my mind off of things.

      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.
