@@ShondaDaDiva Hi future sleever. You are going to be way more nervous and anxious before the same day before surgery. I almost quit, mins before if it wasn't for my surgeon. He was the only who could calm me down and I felt I was in the best hands. I don't know if you are christian or not but something that help me days before was hearing a women call Kathleen on Sid Roth's It's supernatural (I'm a cold christian.)

Otherwise make sure you have a good support. Yesterday was my surgery and my surgeon was the one who calm me down, like he was my husband Lol not even my husband could calm me down.

I'm a mother and pain for me was like having contractions....For the first 6-8 hrs I decidad not to have another kid Lol I will forget the pain soon when I start seeing babies everywhere.

This is for your health and your happines. This is for a new you. Good luck.

****If you have a pre-op diet, I recommend you to start sipping liquids every 20-30 secs you will need to practice before. That is helping me now. I prepare myself to rhe post-op diet and get ready for the burps Lol

Thanks for asking. I'm still in the hospital. It's hard to describe the pain, tender & sore. I've been walking a lot. They took me off the morphine pump yesterday. Now they just give me pain meds PRN. I am hoping to go home today. I miss my sons. Nervous about my 19 month old wanting to climb all over me.

I had a little nausea but never vomited. The gas pain went away after they let me walk. I carry my Water with me when I walk now because my mouth is so dry. I also get the hiccups while walking and burp while "eating".

      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
