The night before felt like the night before the first day of school mixed with the stress of having to wake up early to catch a flight!

Just try to relax and go for it! I'm a week out and no regrets thus far. Happy healings!

Thank you all for your kind words. I'm excited for a new beginning, but nervous for the surgery. I think it has to do with those that support it and family members that do not.

Well tune any unsupporting people out.

What matters most is that you support you. It's up to you ultimately. You're doing something really good for yourself and not for anyone else.

That's what I realized myself although I'm grateful I have my whole immediate fam on board anyway. It felt so good to do this for me knowing it's a big leap of faith in the right direction.

I had my surgery last Thursday. This is normal. But you will be so happy once it's done and you start seeing results. I woke up later that day after my surgery thinking if mad the worse mistake. Why did I do this? I promise this will pass and you will do amazing. Congratulations on making this decision for a new life journey!

I'm on EST, so it's 4:30am here and I have to be at the hospital at 12:30 today. I feel the same way. I can't sleep. What couple of hours that I did get in, I was having crazy dreams. Good Luck to you and speedy recovery.

Good luck to you too! And I guess if you're not sleeping now you definitely will be later today/ or at least you'll be knocked out.

I'm a few days post op and can't sleep myself cause I'm caught up reading about sleeve related things!

You won't be able to please everyone all the time, just do you. Some people think Bariatric surgery is the "easy way out" & that all we have to do is diet & exercise not understanding it's not that simple for some. So say your prayers to whatever or whomever you believe in & step forward to a new healthier happier you! They will come around when they see the change in your demeanor.

      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.
