Recommended Posts

I'm having my sleeve done tomorrow morning.. I'm very scared

Best of luck!

That pre-op anxiety and fear is very understandable. It was the worst part of the whole experience for me.

Sending good thoughts your way. I pray you have a uneventful, complication free surgery and recovery.

Let us know how you are doing.

(A side note: I gave my mom my phone with strict instructions not to give it back to me until I was no longer loopy from the pain meds!)

Good luck! Everything will be just fine. You are on the cusp of the new you. Please keep us updated!! I have 10 days and I can't wait. I understand being nervous. It's a huge life change! Keep us updated. Sending you positive vibes!

I love the phone comment. I am having mine do the same. No pain med induced texting if someone has your phone. I know how I get when I've had a few. I can't imagine what I'd be like on strong pain meds.. It's for my own good!

You guys are just amazing and so supportive.. Thank you!

Surgery went well and I really haven't experienced to much post op pain.. Has is a little uncomfortable and the larger incision(where the stomach come out) is tender .

I did the swallow test yesterday morning to make sure there was no leaking and then started Clear Liquids.< /p>

Thanks again for all the positive vibes and well wishes >hugs<

My surgery is tomorrow, 8/29. I'm glad to hear things went well. I'm a bit nervous and wondering what the first week is typically like.

Best of luck Sam! Nervous is normal, as you read, I was very scared. But the hospital staff and my surgeon were amazing and I'm following my Drs directions to a T.. So far so good.. Started full liquids today and did pretty well sipping on a protien shake.< /p>

Let us know how your doing.

      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.
