Three days until my surgery. I'm feeling anxious and I'm definitely not handling the stress very well! Shouting at DHL parcel couriers and my phone company over minor issues. I'm really ashamed of myself and I hope this grouchy time ends soon.

I'm still worried that something will happen and my liver won't have shrunk enough or they will say I haven't lost enough weight or something.

@Candace4283 well done on getting your surgery done! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Not great, unfortunately. I'm doing better today though. Yesterday, I was really dehydrated.

Hi! Surgery is 10/16, as long as I survive this pre-op diet. lol. I’ve been at it seriously for a year now, and lost 60+ lbs with Ozempic.

Coming out of surgery I can’t wait to see my A1C drop, my blood pressure drop, and my CPAP go into storage.

Forgot because it’s been awhile since I’ve had any abdominal surgery. Thought it best to inform my surgeon of my multiple scar tissue and adhesions from 7-8 abdominal surgeries starting in 1981-2018. Have video appointment 10/11 but first…. 2nd one with nutritionist, then my pre op exam by primary, then pre op with nurse of surgeon, maybe another with nutritionist? Then surgery for gastric sleeve & esophageal hernia repair! Hope there is no problem with the previous surgeries?!

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm starting to have doubts but not enough to put me off. Just pre-surgery anxiety I think. Just trying to prepare a bag for the hospital. I know I'll be staying for one night for sure and supposed to be discharged the next day.

      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
