Tomorrow's My Big Day.....Anyone Else ?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys. Just checking in to see who else is getting banded tomorrow. I'm very excited about the beginning of a new life, a new me, but also pretty nervous now and need some encouragment. I'm hoping and praying that everything goes well, and no complications. OMG, if I can just get over the fear of being put to sleep I think I will be okay. This will be my last post until surgery is completed and I'm back home, although I may post from my Blackberry (if I can get my dad to sneak me my phone into the recovery room)...Lol. But, to my fellow January 23rd banders, good luck and best wishes to all of you. Tomorrow will be a day we will never forget. Love yall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

Well I'm getting ready for surgery tomorrow. Just got back from the store. I still feel like I'm forgetting things. I'm really nervous. I've been trying to stay busy so I don't think about it too much. I'm very excited about the future though!! I hope everyone has a great day and thanks for all the stories that have helped keep me get to this day!

      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.
