I get my surgery tomorrow morning at 10am. I thought I could handle this like all my other surgeries but I'm a little nervous. I think it's the afterwards that scares me. Can I do it, will I be able to do it? I live in Austin, TX.

Hi,

I'm being sleeved tomorrow!

I'm in France, so I can be a buddy from afar :-)

I know you won't be ready this soon since it's the 14th today, so I hope all went well!

You can do this!

I have the same trepidation as you about afterwards. How bad will it be? Will I be able to stand it?

I mean, my second child was 9lbs and my epidural stopped working and I was able to do that, but I also wasn't able to finish getting a tattoo because I got lightheaded and threw up! I don't know if I can trust what I thought my pain tolerance is anymore. I just don't want to be a sobbing, snotty mess afterwards. But, if I am, I am and hope they keep the good pain meds coming my way. :)

I don't have to be at the hospital until 1.30p est, but I'll definitely be keeping you in my thoughts!

You guys have this. I had my surgery just over a year ago and very happy I did it. You will have your up's and down's but keep looking forward. We are all here for you. I am in the north seattle area and if you ever are in doubt I am here. We all need a support structure in place and I have had one of the best.

Keep up the great work.

      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.
