Tomorrow is the day



Recommended Posts

I cannot belive it, Tomorrow is the day- I have to be at the hospital by 0530. I am so excited but I have to admit the anxiety is getting worse, I was up half the night. My mind won't stop. Usually when I stress, I eat and smoke. Today I am cleaning. I am going to try to substitute movement for eating. Hopefully I can do this. I am suppose to be on Clear Liquids today, shouldn't be too bad. Just missing my coffee.< /p>

Everything is going to go great - and before you know it you will look back and go - I can't believe I am already 2 weeks post-op and you will look at the scale and be down!!!

For all of that time in between - you will be on the board here getting all of the support that you need to get through it!

I know what you mean - the night before, all I wanted to do is sit on my back patio - drink a glass of wine and have a smoke - it will all go by quicker than yoou think!!!!!

Good luck and let us know how you do!!

I am so happy for you. I have just 18 days to go myself, so I know how excited you must be. I am sure that you will be fine, this is the best thing that we can do for ourselves. Here's to a smooth and uneventful surgery and recovery for you and all of the July bandsters~Mandy

Thank you- I am nervous but on top of that I am hungry. No food, just clear liquids today-I guess it could be worse. I don't suppose white wine would be considered a clear liquid. Only kidding but it sure would take the edge off.

Would someone be kind enough to tell me how to get the 'ticker factory' into the bottom of my messages? I've been to the site and found some I liked, but didn't understand what I was suppose to do on the last page. Sorry, but I'm a newbie at all of this. I'm being banded TOMORROW. I'm scared and hungry.

wannabsmall,

tomorrow! yippee! I'm sorry you are scared and hungry. Just know it will be all over with before you know it, and you'll be banded!!

So I guess you know how to go to the Tickerfactory and choose your ticker. When you get to the end You have a selection of addresses to choose from. find the one that says it's for use on vbulletins. Highlight that address, click Edit at the very top, then click Copy.

Now, come back to LBT and click on User CP in the upper left. then click Edit Signature. Put your curser in the sig block where you want the ticker to be, then go back up to the Edit button, click Paste, and the address will show up from the tickerfactory. Now, scroll down and click Save Changes. Then post, and it should come up. PM me if you have any probs, I'll be on and off here for another hour, maybe, and I'll be glad to help if you are still on.

Good luck tomorrow! Post when you get home and let us all know how you are feeling!!!

      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.
