Hey everyone...



Recommended Posts

I should be having my surgery in less than a month. I'm starting to get eager and apprehensive. What did everyone do to overcome these feelings or if you even had them? Thanks!

Clearly I'm a little bit apprehensive too... it's 12:17 in the morning and I have my surgery at 6 a.m.... I need to go to sleep! But to be honest, I haven't really felt nervous at all lately... in fact, some days I act like I already have the band in me! I know that seems a little weird, but I think it's because I've been on this journey so long.... it feels like a part of me already. I'm in a hotel room with my (sleeping) mom right now, and she is a nervous wreck.. so I think I lost any fear I might have had because I know she is worrying about it all for me. Maybe find someone who can help ease the anxiety by being anxious with you?

And don't worry! The last month went by reallllly fast for me, and it should for you too! I am sooo happy for you that you will be getting your surgery soon! When will you know your exact date?

      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.
