If you weren't nervous you wouldn't be normal We all have that fear of the unknown and worse case scenario!! I promise you'll come home and be happy it's over.. and onto a better healthier life.. I had a really complicated surgery, and losts of recovery issues (I was revised from band to sleeve with a TON of scar tissue...) and I would still do it again!

I would agree. I just had the same surgery July 25th and I'm go grateful I did it. 8 days out I'm feeling great. You will love it.

I only lost 16 pounds in my first month after surgery . Is this a normal weight loss? I started at 201 pounds. I'm worried that this my slow down next month. I have not started exercise yet! I did start working again after 10 Days of Surgery its been a Struggle with lots of emotions. Just reaching out for advice. Thank you !

The Spirometer and I aren't great friends but it's a necessary evil.

I can not respond as an experienced person. Only from what I have learned from friends and other forum members. A few things: 1) Say goodbye to beer (carbonation) 2) You can drink after you heal, but expect to sip spirits watered down (non carbonated drinks, water/crystal light). 3) You should sip on this one drink as you will not be able to drink like you used to. You will get drunk MUCH quicker than before.

Love them but be warned...they are tongue burners! I stuck one in my mom's tongue once, ooh was she mad! LOL

It is unbelievable...I've never felt like that before!!! Thanks for reply

Cravings for a particular food are mental. Hunger will be satisfied by anything including your protein shakes. Are you on a protein pump inhibitor for acid? It can mimic hunger causing gnawing empty sensations

I was scheduled for Surgery August 1,i was super nervous and excited, i was so nervous i thought about canceling surgery, my family had came in town to support me, i knew i couldn't cancel, getting support from this site has helped tremendously, when you have support makes a big difference, surgery went quickly i had vsg/hernia repair, surgery lasted 45 minutes, i had alot of gas pain first day of surgery, i walked alot, that really helped,i couldnt sleep in bed, i slept sitting up in chair, im so happy i had surgery, the sky is the limit,i will definitely follow my nutritional guidelines, i will be a fool not too, Good Luck August Sleevers..
