Tomorrow is the big day



Recommended Posts

Well its finally here and I'm sh&*%$$ my pants! I'm happy sad and terrified

all at the same time. I really havn't been able to eat for 4 days. Who would

have thought. Each time I try I'm in the bathroom 10 min. later. I know

its all nerves. I have this fear that I will have all kinds of problems after

the surgery and knowing that I did this to myself and I didn't have to.

I have been reading way too much I think. I'm making myself sick. Every time

I tell someone I'm doing this they ask me if I'm crazy that I'm not big enough

to do something so drastic. I know if I could do this on my own I would have

done it a long time ago. I'm 5'2" 211lbs. I have a very bad back and that

is the main reason for doing this. I know in the long run I will be happier and

healthier. I just need some reassurance. Has anyone out there had their

surgery with Dr. Edward Mun in Boston. Ok enough rambling thanks for

listening.

Mayflower,

You're just like most of all of us -- nervous, scared and full of anxiety. It's all part of the process. Good luck with your surgery and we will see you in Bandland!

I was banded last week and I know what you are feeling. Everything will be fine and soon you will be wondering what you were so nervous about!

Good luck and best wishes.....

      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.
