That's so normal. You'll be fine. Do something to take your mind off of surgery. Get that anti nausea meds and you'll do great. I think I was so geeked and ready, that I didn't have time to be nervous. I remember they carted me off to the surgery room, had me move over to another table and then put a mask on my face and told me to take 3 deep breaths and I only remember the 1st. Next thing I knew they were waking me up after surgery. I really didn't feel pain until later that evening and even then I was so on top of the pain meds that it wasn't that bad. Good luck.

I am better today. It took me all these days though to just feel ok. It was a hard recovery. I tried to go out yesterday but had motion sickness. Today I was able to go to Shaws which was a big deal..I was wiped out when I got back.

I have lost 17lbs since the 20th of December so I am happy about that. This week has helped b/c I've lost almost a pound every day. Most likely due to not eating much. I'm trying.

I just made some egg custard to eat later. I'm so happy to be able to eat a little something. I sometimes feel sick just b/c of not being able to eat.

How are you 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.
