Tomorrow is the day



Recommended Posts

so my surgery is tomorrow and I have to be at the hospital at 9:30am. I am so nervous but I know that is normal because it is a big surgery but I'm praying that all goes well..earlier today I was questioning if this is really what I want to do but I know that's my inner fat girl trying to hold on but I know I am ready, has anyone else felt that way the day before surgery? and I will keep everyone updated. congratulations to everyone else getting the surgery tomorrow. good luck

If you DIDN'T have the jitters the day before a major surgery then YOU, my friend would be a ----wait for it--------wait for it--------------again--wait for it--------------A WEIRDO!!!!! :)

Seriously, my friend, let it go. You have done all of the prep work. You have chosen the best bariatric team you could. You have jumped through every hoop. Now, you need to let it go.

Take a deep breath, leave everything about tomorrow in your surgical team's skillful hands, under God's Grace.

All will be well. I promise.

NOW

GO TO BED!!!!!

(post when you feel up to it and let us know how wonderfully well you are doing and how WLS was the best decision you've ever made. You may want to wait until a week post op for the feeling wonderfully well part . :) But, You WILL . )

You got this! I had the same feelings the night before. It can be described as bittersweet.

All I can say is that your life will feel better than it ever has a month from now. First 2 weeks may be tough, and the 3rd and 4th week a bit awkward getting accustomed to eating with your new pouch. The rest is history

Weeks out: 16

SW: 365

CW: 285

WL: 80lbs

      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.
