Prior to surgery they gave us the Wonderful Happy Pill that melted all the Fear away and put you in a Peaceful mood. Ask the nurse if you can get something for your Nerves.

I had Anxiety about everything from the Plane ride to the Surgery but looking back I wish I could have went back in time and let my Old Self Know that it is way worse in my mind than it is in real Life. I would go get one last long walk in and reflect on all the positivity that you are bringing into your Life.

Deep breaths and faith that this will all work out. It is scary as hell. I sat in the bed and kept thinking what if I don't wake up? My wife was by my side and i couldn't get it out of my head that this might be my goodbye. I have a great team of doctors that help, and my surgeon was awesome. I had nothing to do but trust in them that everything was going to be all right.
I don't know if it is fear of complications on the table or fear of a new life after, but after surgery for a few days it was a little surreal. Then the pounds started to come off, and I started to adjust. Just take it one day at a time, if you can't do that take it a meal at a time, and if you can't do that, take it an hour at a time or a minute at a time. Control what's going on now and the future will set itself. Good luck and Godspeed, you are going to wake up to a new life.

      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. 🤞
