August 10, 2016 Surgery date



Recommended Posts

Hello out there. I am finally scheduled for my VSG, on August 10th. I am feeling a range of emotions from excitement to apprehension to fear. I cannot wait to start my new healthy life! I have no co-morbidities, I am just extremely overweight and want to around for my children for a very long time. My pre-op diet starts on the 27th of July. How are the rest of you feeling?????

I had my surgery on 8/10 and that whole week leading up to the surgery I went through every emotion you can think of. Sadness, anxiety, fear, anger. I'm glad it's over and that I did but I know it's going to be a long hard road ahead. I just hope I can stay on course and not fail like a few people I know that had the surgery did. They acted like nothing was different and went back to their old habits and gained back the weight they lost and in one case more than what they lost.

I'm beginning to feel better, I can finally sleep on my side again???? I'm so over the full liquid stage though, nothing tastes good and artificial sweeteners are giving me headaches. How are you doing?

I've had all those feelings too. Today I had a breakdown. My husband bought pizza for him and the kids tonight and that's one of the things I've been craving the most.

      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. 🤞
