I am now 1 week out from my surgery. On the day before my surgery I silently panicked over the fact that I was not only having surgery but over the major change that was about to happen in my life. I didn't share my panic with my husband or daughters. I pretty much just tried to keep myself together. On Monday, my surgery day, I woke up feeling excited about my new journey. I was not the least bit nervous or apprehensive. If you can, keep busy and surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Good luck!!! You will do great!!!

Hi :)

I agree... keep yourself busy, get things ready. That is what I have been doing.

Just woke up and have a few things left to do this morning. Then my husband and I will head over to the hospital... my surgery is at noon today!

I am a little nervous, but mostly it's an excited kind of nervous. I am definitely looking forward to the GOOD change that this is going to bring into my life.

You will do great! Hang in there and best wishes to you.

Hugs,

Shelley

@krazibabgirl. You just made my heart drop. Good luck!! You will do fine. I keep seeing in these forums and videos on YouTube, the first day is the worst because of the gas. It passes and you start feeling better. My Sleeve surgery is on December 2nd. I'll probably feel the same way you are feeling now

I ended up getting a call from my doctor saying that he had to push it back because he had a difficult case that he had to reschedule. So instead it's this Thursday! But I'll def let you know how it goes!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
