Hi everyone - I'm new here. I had my VSG on 1/24/12. I am trying my best to be upbeat and do everything that I am supposed to be doing, but I feel as if I am failing at this! Heartburn, nausea, pain, second-guessing myself... I'm sure that it is normal and that I'm not the only one to feel this way. I just didn't plan on all of this - I don't want to fail at this, too. Does anyone have any advice? I feel like such a loser right now.

Again - thank you all for taking the time to respond to a newbie who was having a bad day and throwing her own pity party :-) I'm following everyone's suggestions. I had my surgery out-of-state and have been staying with my sister during my recovery. I think missing my husband and son on top of everything else has thrown me for an emotional loop as well. Hopefully the doctor will give me the okay to go home at tomorrow's appointment. My fingers are crossed! What a great community - hugs to you all.

Thanks for your advice, everyone! Today was rough and I posted at a low point. I do have scripts for nausea and pain meds, but those tend to upset my stomach, too. I have my first follow-up on Wednesday (2/1/12) and I have a list of questions for my doctor. I'll hang in there :-) This site has given me wonderful support on a day when I was really low...Hugs!
