It went good! I was really scared going into surgery but they were really nice & helpful at calming me. I woke up after surgery and was able to start walking later that night. The pain levels settle & become more bearable. Tbe stomach binder is very comforting.

Congratulations!!!! I’ve been binge watching my 600lb life and I don’t think that’s the best idea. I’m completely freaked out now. I’ve never had surgery never stayed in a hospital. So I’m a bit freaked out. Good to know your experience was good. What state are you in?

I know it's not the same surgery but I had 4 surgeries in 2017 for ovarian cancer including two twilight procedures. You'll be just fine. Before you even know it you'll be waking up and ready to start your 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.
