New here. Been reading these boards for the last few weeks, my first time posting. I am scheduled for surgery at 8:30 am tomorrow morning, 12/27. Getting nervous! Excited for what this means for my life, mostly nervous about having actual surgery and complications. But it’s taken me two years to get to this point and there is no turning back now. Sit have to have faith that everything is going to be fine.

Getting better. Still a ton of trapped gas, but I have been able to stop the dilaudid pain meds. Still taking the zofran and meds for esophageal spasms pretty regularly. Able to consume a little more liquid each day and some Protein. Deffinately not a walk in the park yet tho. Whoever says this is the easy way out can kiss my ass :)

Awesome. I still have some trapper gas too. Burping alot, and coming out the other way as well lol. I started my Protein Water this morning and it's going down pretty good. It's definitely not a walk in the park. But we got this. [emoji4]

Have you been getting any sleep? I just can't get comfortable. Up every hour or so.

First few days I had to sleep on the couch, there was no getting comfortable. I am up every 2-3 hours still, but I take a quick 10 minute walk to loosen some of the gas up and lay back down and an able to get back to sleep. Don’t know what your doc prescribed you for meds, but mine gave me some Valium, and I take it right before bed and that helps a lot. I average about 8 hours, with waking up 2-3 times a night. A pillow under my stomach has been helpful as well.

Glad it went well. Now every day it'll get a bit better. The gas is the worst, walk as much as you can and keep sipping!

      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. 🤞
