I finally called the Dr!



Recommended Posts

I called the Dr's office a few minutes ago...They said what I am experiencing is NOT Normal! theyare going to schedule me for an Upper GI to find out if the band has slipped.

If the band slipped and that is the problem I will be going back into surgery to have it replaced.

If the band did not slip then I will be having an endoscopy to see whats happening with my esophagus!

I haven't heard when my Upper GI is...but I will keep you all posted!

UUUgggghhhhh! Why me???

I haven't eaten a real meal since 2 Fridays ago.. Almost 2 weeks that I have eaten a good meal. I am regurgitating, gurgling, and it hurts to eat! I threw up last night (1/2 a freeze pop)! I am weak and not feelin right; I know something is not right So I finally called the Dr. again.

MInd you I have nothing in my band-NO FLUID! It is completely deflated and I still have trouble!

Hope everything turns out ok!! I had an endo before surgery and an upper GI after surgery. It was kinda cooling watching the liquid go through and seeing where everything was placed. Good luck and let us know what happens!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
