Nerves are getting out of control!



Recommended Posts

Hello Sleevers! I start my liquid diet on September 22nd and I'm nervous for that but even more nervous that surgery is coming up so quickly. I suffer from anxiety and depression! I was just wondering how everything went for others who suffer from this. I don't wanna freak out the day of surgery and not go through with it.

I'm three days out and suffer from panic attacks. I did not have any panic moments. I was strangly calm in the preop room. Then they gave me something and all your nerves dissipate. Everything you read on here is exactly how it happens. I can tell the difference of how much better i feel just from yesterday. I wish you the best!

You should be nervous. If you are not, I'd be worried about you. But before your surgery, you might want to talk to your doctor about your meds. I had to switch from Extended release post surgery to regular release. The pills didn't hang around in the stomach long enough. So research your meds and WLS.

I start the preop liquid diet. My surgery is scheduled for 10/5. Its my second time. My insurance denied me at the last minute the time before. Everyone keeps asking if i am nervous, but im oddly not. Maybe when i get closer to the date i will freak out.

      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.
