I have surgery scheduled for next tuesday ( lets see if i can make it i am in ALOT of pain) I had all the Fluid taken out of my band today.... But i am still having trouble keeping fluids down... When i drink the pain gets so intense it makes me sick and throwing it up seems to be the only relief.. I have read that throwing up is part of the problem with gallstones.... Lets hope it gets better because right now the pain meds arent even helping :( :( :( :( :(

Please make sure you stay hydrated. I know you can't keep liquids down but try ices and ice chips. If it gets too bad go back to the ER and insist on earlier surgery. My prayers are with you.

Just an update!! Today I feel back to normal! I guess taking all the Fluid out of my band and letting it rest last night was best! I can hold down liquids today! Woohoo (I think its been since saturday since i have actually had a drink of any kind) i have enough pain meds to last me to Tuesday... Hopefully it will not flair up again till then!!! And my Dr said the surgery souldnt affect my lap band.. THANK GOODNESS... ( On a bright note even tho ive been miserable my weight has dropped to 185... i dont think Ive weighed that much since freshman year of highschool!!)

Thanks! :) I will be glad when this is a distant memory!!! I have since learned my grandmother and ALL her sisters had their gallbladders removed between the ages of 23-26 I'm 24 so I guess I fit right in with my family! They all told me once it was removed they have never had any more troubles! I cant wait for this thing to be GONE!!! :lol:

      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.
