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!! 🌟💜🌟
I hope you are healing well! Welcome to the other side!

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Last night was a struggle. Can’t keep any fluids or medicine down. If I ingest anything it comes right back up when I’m trying to sleep. This morning I called my hospital program and they are trying to get my in the hospital for IV fluids to avoid me getting too dehydrated prayers are still welcomes for me to get past this funk. Thank you guys!

Aww you guys are the best! I feel better after getting IV fluids for 4 hours today, they also have me scheduled to come back tomorrow and Saturday for more fluids in the IV. I will say, that I can tolerate WARM liquids better than room temperature. That was a suggestion from my program coordinator. I find that it doesn’t stick in my esophagus as bad. Also I’m hoping by the time I’m finished with my IV fluids that my stomach swelling will be down enough for me to drink. I also haven’t been able to do the medications as well so I can’t wait to be able to get into those some more. I’m just thankful that my incisions haven’t been that bad! Thanks guys!! 🌟🌟🌟 here’s to positive thinking!

      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.
