My surgery is booked for April 29th. I couldn't be more stoked! I have been dreaming of this surgery for the last 18 months. I am traveling to Mexico for my sleeve and just booked my flights today. It is feeling more real and at the same time I can't believe it's finally happening.

I am scheduled for 4/5 and I am beyond excited. I started and then had to stop the process two years ago due to some other medical issues but was able to get back in the beginning of the year to get it all taken care of. My wife had the surgery in January this year and it has helped me prepare for the surgery mentally and physically. We live in Michigan, so we are excited to drop weight and do some camping this summer!

I just had my RNY yesterday 4/4/16, it is definitely understandable to be nervous! I have had an excellent recovery so far! Pain has not been too bad at all! I have to go for an upper GI X-ray today and as long as they do not see any leaks I can begin my stage 1 clear liquid diet.

For some reason, my surgeon doesn't want people up and walking until physical therapy comes to see them the next day, so that stinks because I really wanted to start walking yesterday. I have been falling asleep a lot just laying in bed, and the morphine probably doesn't help!

      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.
