Anyone Else Having Surgery Monday 2/20?



Recommended Posts

I was thinking to create this thread for those having surgery on Monday. Perhaps we could share our Gastric Sleeve Journey together as our own 'group' by posting to this thread.

My surgery time is 9:45a EST in NJ and I'm ready!

My surgeon only requires one day Clear liquids prior to surgery and I just ate my last 'normal' meal so here I go...

Tomorrow is the date for me!! Have to be at a the hospital at 8am for a 10am surgery. I've been on all liquids today. Relaxing a bit now.

i am excited but still quite nervous and anxious.

I brought my son to a friend's house so he is being watched while I'm at the hospital. When I said goodbye to him, and said "I love you", i had to leave right then as tears starting flowing. I think the thought of something happening to me and him not having his mom overcame my thoughts. I'm having this surgery for my health so I can live longer for him. I know chances are rare that something happens, so there's just negative guy on my shoulder...

      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.
