Tomorrow is my big day...



Recommended Posts

:) I'm so excited, nervous and anxious! I can't believe it's finally here. My first surgery consult was 4/17 and the surgery is 7/16 ~ 3 months. Although, I have been considering the lap band for the past 4 years.

I'm so excited that my process did not take as long and now I can have a new beginning. My arrival time at the hospital is 10 am and I will stay overnight. I pray for a smooth surgery with very little pain....:wub:

Congratulations on your surgery. I know how nervous you are my surgery is tomorrow also. I'm supposed to be there at 7am. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Can't find anything to keep my attention today. Just keep pacing and walking waiting for the day to be over....lol. I can't believe how fast it's all happened. My first surgery consult was 5/20. At that time they said surgery would probably be in July. Then that seemed so far away, now it's here and I can't believe it. Good luck with your surgery!!:wub:

Thank you all for the well wishes! Overall I'm doing well just a lot of tenderness and pain were the port is located. Not sure how long to expect that but I hope it goes away soon. Like the old saying, "No pain, no gain". :smile:

      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.
