However, my dear hubby is reading over my shoulder and does not like the idea that the dr. was standing between my legs doing the procedure.

Well that's why I didn't tell my husband! I had my surgery over a year ago and he still doesn't know!

Hey ladies. I too was commando for my surgery. I was also on my period. My tom decided to be a week late and arrive on the day of my surgery. It was very light so I know I didn't bleed everywhere, but you know what's super creepy? I woke up with a pad between my legs!

OMG!!! :thumbup::lol::(:lol:

Believe me... when you've had kids, this is a walk in the park! I was awake when I was spread eagle for the kids.

At least I'll be asleep this time! :)

OMG! I am sitting here laughing. And I needed a laugh. I'm going through the "What the hell am I about to do!" phase! :thumbup:

I remember that feeling. I actually felt that way all the way up to surgery. I remember being wheeled to the OR thinking "No stop, I can't do it!" But now I'm SO glad I did it.

I didn't have any "what am I about to do?" moments, but after surgery one of the first things I thought was "what did I just do?" At the time it didn't seem like the pain and the discomfort was worth it. Thank God for pain meds!

This is thread is too funny!!! I can picture the doctors saying damn the lapband, how about a breast lift, Lipo and a wax!

This made me crack up!

I remember the first time I had surgery for my gall bladder back in 1993 I woke up with a catheter and thought.. "oh my God, what did they do to me in there?" Its true though, they have seen it all!

My ex bf had a kidney stone and he went in to have a shunt put in (imagine, going up through the penis to the kidney.. ugh!), he had to get into stirrups!! I thought, anything they will do to me would be better than a man going into stirrups! haha As women (and mostly here we are women), we are used to being poked and prodded :biggrin:

I used to work with a nurse practioner who would put men in stirrups when they needed an anal exam!!

I like to be informed so I tend to read many posts on here. Crap, I wish I hadn't found this one! OMG. I knew the commmando issue but the other stuff!?!?

I'm all for a one-stop-shop deal: band, Lipo, lifts, tucks, whatever needs liftin' and snippin' :)...I mean, if I'm already there, the doc's there, why not? Just leave any leftover scraps in the trash please.

This is a great thread for a laugh....And a rude awakening for anyone who's never had surgery :tt2:. Commando is the easy part! It's looking your surgeon in the eye afterward that'll be tricky. Just to even the playing field, I think I'll ask mine for a quick peep show before we head to the OR. Heck, he'll be in scrubs. Easy enough to pull down and let me have a look :lol:. It would only be fair, right :sad:? If I get any photos, I'll be sure to share them, ladies.

Good luck everyone! And thank you, God for good drugs!!

      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.
