My Surgery is Friday and I'm kind of freaking out - mostly on the inside but none the less FREAKING OUT. What if I'm not ready - will I ever be ready if I'm not now. I'm fat and tired of being fat. So many emotions I need to know if everyone else goes through this???

You sound like me!! My family was nervous but the day came and I was ready to rock and roll. They nurse took my BP once I was taken back and it was normal, for me.. which is a little high but not bad due to my HBP meds... if I was nervous, I would have expected my BP to be high... the nurse was laughing at me because I kept asking when they were gonna take me to the OR and that I was ready to rock and roll... she said that most patients come in and they are nervous.. I wasn't nervous in the least...and I think that's because I KNEW this was the right decision for me...good luck tomorrow and let us know how it goes!!

Good luck on tomorrow you will be fine. I was band on 11/12/09 and I am doing good I didn't have to have any pain meds. I was sore and it did hurt but it was nothing I couldn't handle. I started walking 1 mile the next day. When you get or feel like you need to burp just walk,rock, or the best thing I found was someone on here said to lean forward and the air will work it's way out. Belive me after the first day it does get better.Just hang in there. See you on the flip side!!!:thumbup:

      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.
