Big day tomorrow!!!! How are you feeling about it?
I know there are many different surgeries but with my mini gastric bypass I feel absolutely no hunger. I have to make myself eat but I do tend to forget because of the lack of hunger. I was hungry around the clock pre op so this is miraculous to me!

GOOD LUCK for tomorrow - big hug - let us know how you got on :)

@@bluey I'm about 15 down now, I think, and surgery is tomorrow. I hope I do as well as you!

Good! A little scared, but so far not too bad. I'm trying to act confident about it so I don't upset my poor husband. Sometimes it's harder to watch someone you love go through things than to do them yourself!

Yes, you are right but he will end up with a more active and healthier wife. Just keep the big picture in mind!

Best of luck today!!!

Brilliant news!!! Glad you're not in too much pain!

Sleeved and back home. Everything went just fine, I think. Not too much pain so far.

Great to hear! I got hiccups a few times and also strange little burps would escape me with no warning. Seems to have mostly settled down now though :)

My surgery was on the 20th of this month anf all went well, I got the bypass and I got up and started walking. I seem to have hiccups.

I am getting hungry and this is just day 5, any advice?

My op is on the 5th - so in just a few days. It has all happened very quickly and I am feeling anxious.

Would love to make some friends to share the highs and lows.

I'm 43 with 2 kids and live on the English South coast.

      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. 🤞
