I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow and I've suddenly started freaking out. Please pray for me!

I know most of you have been through it already and don't think it's that big a deal, but I'm worried sick!

Thanks all of you for your support! :biggrin:

Maya,

I can understand your nerves. Its ok to be nervous. Just take deep, slow breaths and concentrate on the end result. See yourself home after the op and on your way to getting slimmer. Picture yourself in those gorgeous clothes you've secretly longed to wear. Do you have an outfit already for goal weight? If so get it out and look at it, play with it, hold it up to yourself in the mirror and imagine walking into some swanky restaurant in that outfit!

Allow yourself to dream hun. This is time you are taking for you. This is something you are doing to love yourself more! Pat yourself on the back, you deserve it!

Good luck and see you back here in a day or so :biggrin:

Michelle

AWWWW.. you guys are so awesome! I was brought to tears reading all your well wishes!!!

BUT GUESS WHAT??

They cancelled my surgery! They stink! The hospital I was supposed to be done at was in "Crisis mode" and they were not able to take me, it was a huge bummer... So now.. I have to wait one MORE week and MAYBE get it done.. because the Dr's wife is pregnant and may have her baby that week so I may be cancelled again!

Anyway.. I'll come back and stalk you all again next week. Thank you so much for the prayers and well wishes!

Much Love!!

God Bless You!!

      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.
