Surgery in a few hours!



Recommended Posts

Hey guys! So I’m up early (4am here) so that I can get to the hospital at 5:30 for check in. I am a bundle of nerves, and even have quite the turning tummy! I hope it goes away once I get there! Anyways, I appreciate any prayers and well wishes for today. This is my first surgery ever! So I’m not sure what to expect. I can’t wait to join everyone on the losers bench! I’ve been working towards this for so long!! Well thank you guys and I will check back in later and let you all know how it went!! 🌟💜🌟

AshAsh, forward bravely. You know you can do this, center yourself on what is ahead and what you know you must do. You trust your surgeon, put your life calmly and peacefully into his care, you know he and his staff will keep you safe until you awake on the other side. No 💦just Joy for the future.

Thanks everyone! I’ve been so sleepy so it’s been tough to get on here! So yesterday was a little rough. Had a lot of nausea, even threw up once. Had very little pain at all. But today I woke up a new woman! I have little to no pain with the meds and I have no nausea. I’ve been up around walking and prefer sitting in my chair to the bed. The only bad thing is that I have to do the swallow test twice and I failed twice. For some reason my stomach is too swollen and it won’t leave the esophagus so that is my goal. Still no Water so I can’t wait to get some!! Thank you everyone for your positive vibes and prayers!!

      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.
