Surgery in just over 24 hours!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I will be having surgery on Tuesday at 8:30. I'm very excited! I have lost 15 pounds on the pre-op diet, I almost can't believe it. I'm thrilled and really looking forward to the life change. I'm very nervous about the surgery just because I haven't ever been through one (aside from wisdom teeth). I took some before pictures a few days ago and can't wait to start posting new ones!!!

Good luck to you. I was banded on the 2nd and seem to be doing well. I'm sure you will be too.

Sounds like our surgeries are going to be very close! Mine is scheduled at 8:15 a.m. on Tuesday. I had my first bout of nerves just a few minutes ago. I have had several surgeries, but no matter how many you have, you still get a little nervous. Good luck to you :tongue_smilie:

Congrats! I'm tomorrow also. Mine is at 8 Eastern Time, so I may be the first one tomorrow. I'll post as soon as I'm able, and y'all do too!

The bowel prep thing has me pretty sick right now, but I just decided to stop drinking the stuff. I'm already clear and liquid so I don't know what more they want.

My nerves are starting to kick in too, but we CAN DO THIS!

      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.
