Recommended Posts

So my surgery is tomorrow 17/1! I’m wracked with nerves right now. Hoping I can get a good night’s sleep and not be up anxious all night .

Any final words of wisdom are most welcome! Will be meeting you all on the loser’s bench soon!

Good luck! Bring an eye mask and earplugs for peaceful sleep if you have them. Expect a lot of waiting tomorrow, especially if you're not first thing - delays are common. You'll do great!

Thank you so much! The anxiety today is through the roof. Just waiting on the nurse to call me and give me my operation time :). Thank you for the heads up about all the waiting - that’s enough time for anyone to work themselves up into a stupor [emoji23]. Excellent suggestions regarding the mask and earplugs! I just packed them in my bag now, thank you! Xoxo

Bring lounge pants or PJ bottoms....it makes walking the halls in your hospital gown a lot less breezy:) Best wishes for a safe effective procedure!

I just burst with laughter [emoji23]!!! Reminds me of that episode of the Simpson’s when Homer’s hospital gown blows in the wind while he’s walking the halls hahaha. Thank you! I’ve packed some super stretchy lounge pants and bought underwear 3 sizes too big so I’m not constricted [emoji23].

Good luck. I hope you have a speed recovery. I'm a week from tomorrow and feel like it's taking forever.

      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.
