What surgery are you having? I was really nervous too. Just remember at all times why you are doing this. I always ask the anesthesiologist for help with my nerves and they are happy to help!

3 weeks post-op - I feel like I was one of the few who didn't get nervous before surgery! It wasn't my first one so that prolly helped as well.

You'll do great! Ask questions, tons of people around here to answer and help you!

I’m also getting gastric sleeve but on 11/18. Smack in the middle of my pre-op diet right now. I’m too crabby from hunger to be nervous! 😂 Reading about the experiences of other people on this app and in Facebook groups has really helped me feel like I know what to expect.

I'm nervous as well. Like@planetabbi my surgery is Monday as well, but I'm getting a loop duodenal switch. I started my pre-op diet this past Monday and have already dropped several pounds. Good thing I like shakes! lol
Hang in there, we're all here to support each other!

      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.
