Sleeving Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

So the day has finally arrived and I'm having surgery!

I'm absolutely petrified.... more so of recovery when I wake up....

Currently fasting and I am staving (especially that I'm making food for my children still)

<chanting stage strong in my head>

Any advice how to calm my nerves! This is my first operation ever!

Thanks in advance!

No advice as I am still pre-op, but good luck! You'll get through it!

I'm only 5 days out from my surgery, but honestly that damn pre-op diet was worse than the post-op period for me so far. At least I'm not starving now! I have no feelings of hunger for the first time in my life. And the surgery was nothing compared to what I had imagined it to be in my mind. Seriously, it was not bad at all. Not even particularly painful. But we all have different experiences and I know some had it much rougher. I hope that yours is as easy as mine was.

Having to track the Protein and fluids is a chore and sometimes I fall behind in that area, but it's a huge change, so it will take me awhile to get good at that.

Keep us posted! Anxious to hear about your experience !

A little nervous and a little like I can't wait to get this over with. I'm getting all sorts of bad headaches too. Hungry all the time, and feeling very cranky. Can't wait for it all to be over either.

They told me not to come to 11:30 so I already know I'll have a day of hunger, thirst, and headache. Still can't wait to get it over. Good luck to all getting it done tomorrow. Keep in touch with progress.

      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.
