Francesca's update



Recommended Posts

Just a quick update, I got my drain tubes and 40 staples out yesterday. I am feeling better but still in a lot of pain. I really am getting better day by day.

My Dr. says that I am doing well considering the extensive surgery he had to do.

well I will write more later,

bye for now

Wowza, 40 staples?! I'm assuming you didn't have this band removal done laporoscopically, right? Your hubby posted that there was alot of infection, so that makes sense, yes? Girl, so glad to see you posting and on the mend. Hang in there. Keep us updated, too. All the best to you!

So happy to hear you healing now Francesca. It was great to speak with you even though it was too quick.JUst remember not to over do anything especially because you surgery was so invasive. I pray the stomach Gods are kind to you & your back to an upright position soon. I know you must be so happy getting all that crap out of your gut (Tubes & Staples) I'll talk w/ya soon. TC

OWIE!! 40 staples!! I was blessed that I could have my band removed laproscopically. I was so afraid I would have to be cut open but Billy didn't have to. I did have a drain in for two days though. They took it out just before I was discharged yesterday.

Francesca, I am praying for a speedy recovery and no more surgeries for along long time for us.

HUGS

      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.
