I'm new to this app. I've been reading alot of posts over the last couple of days. Alot of good info. Right now im really nervous. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I have 3 kids. Ages 11,9, and 2. I'm so afraid of leaving them behind. I just want to wake up. I've been waiting for this for so long and now I just don't know...

Im definitely going to go thru with it. I pray I'm making the right decision. Anyone else feel this way?

Yes I felt the same way. Sending you courage. Have faith everything will be ok. See if they will give you a Valium prior to them wheeling you into surgery. I had Valium and it really relaxed me. I too was terrified.

Thank you. I will definitely ask for it. How was the pain?

It was tolerable. Your on strong meds. Nurses were always asking how my pain was, always ready to give more if needed. You are up and walking within 6 hrs. Force yourself to get up. The nurses helped me the first time to get out of bed and helped me walk but after that I did everything on my own. Just listen to what the nurses tell you. You will do great.
The pain was a 6 for me...childbirth and kidney stone were a 10 !

Rather than focusing on "what could go wrong" in relation to your surgery.... Instead, focus on the many obesity related health concerns your surgery will help to correct:)

It's easy to second guess yourself when you're in a stressful spot. Trust your saner self...the person who researched and worked hard to get here.

You're going to do great. Wishing you the best.

BZG24, just want to add my good wishes. I haven't had this surgery yet but have had 2 others in the past 15 months and neither added up to the dreading I had before. You are absolutely doing the right thing and your healthly future..Wake up, walk get liquids in and you'll be home soon with the kiddos. You've got,this my dear and I believe you'll be just fine.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
