Tomorrow is my surgery day! I can't sleep I'm so nervous.

Scared but excited.

Same! I anxiously cried myself to sleep for a few hours last night. It's now 6:45am and I'm headed to take my last Hibiclens shower. I gave up on trying to sleep more and figured I'd be sleeping all day post-op anyway. I have to be at the hospital at 11 and surgery time is at 1:20.

Wishing you a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery!! 🤗

Ok, so it's normal? Good luck to you! I have to be at the hospital at 7am. It's a little after 5. I've slept about 3 hours I'm tired but more nervous. So many things are running through my head.

I hope that you are doing well. I know we will both get through this and come out the other side better than ever.

Scared but excited.

Day 5 post op. Feeling pretty good overall. Forgot to take any pain meds before bed last night but slept through and woke up pain free. I'm able to eat thinned out veg Soups & yoghurt up to about 1/2 cups worth. I think the dog might get a small walk today- she'll be very excited!

I'm 8 hours post-op. I also had my gallbladder removed so I'm feeling pretty rough right now. The gas pains are real and I unfortunately am one of the ones plauged by big time nausea. Only was able to walk around once and so far have managed to sip 2oz of Water. I have a great nighttime nurse making all of this bearable.

The surgeon came to see me and turns out I had a 3 for 1 surgery - VSG, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia repair. Makes sense now why my recovery feels so brutal

Rough now, but you are going to feel so much better after you heal up! :)

      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
